• 2- Write an B-tree database

• 3- Write an HTTP client

• 4- Write a programming language

Enlighten yourself with the wisdom of ages (books):

• 1- Read SICP and complete all the exercises

Experience the ins and outs of programming for different platforms:

• 1- Write a nontrivial data intensive system

  1/ Built the data management subsystem of the Copernicus Data and Information Access Services (DIAS),
  a European cloud service for image processing (now called Sobloo).

• 2- Write a nontrivial realtime system

Learn a variety of programming paradigms:

• 1- Write an application in an object-oriented language

  1/ Lead dev Python at Adaptive

  2/ Worked on a mutual health insurance in Java 7

  3/ Built a Java 8->11 application for the Space industry

• 2- Write an application in a prototype-based language

  1/ Worked on the JavaScript/AngularJS frontend part of a mutual health insurance

  2/ Don’t want to do it again. Ever.

• 3- Write an application in a functional language

  1/ Built a data management platform in Clojure

  2/ Still working on a Clojure side project(s)

  3/ Used Java 8->11, Vavr, Reactor, etc, heavily for the Space industry

• 4- Write an application in a logic programming language

• 5- Write an application using the Actor model

  1/ Built a “Work-conserving”/“Multilevel queue” hybrid scheduler for an I/O intensive distributed microservice using (Quasar) Fibers, CSP channels and actors.

• 6- Write a program in assembly language

• 7- Write an application in Forth

Learn by teaching others:

• 1- Deliver a training course

  1/ Gave Android and JavaScript training courses (pre-2018).

  2/ Flink coach during the MonkeyTechDay #6 (2018) “Flink vs Kafka Streams”.

  3/ Clojure trainer at Voxxed Days Cluj-Napoca 2019.

  3/ Kafka & Kafka Streams trainer at Snowcamp Grenoble 2020.
