<br />
|
||
<p>Hi! I’m Ruslan Spivak, a Software Engineer from
|
||
Canada, and if you’ve ever asked yourself:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>“How do I create my own programming language?”</li>
|
||
<li>“How does an interpreter, compiler, or <span class="caps"><span class="caps">VM</span></span> work and how do I create one?”</li>
|
||
<li>“How do I implement my own database and a small operating system?”</li>
|
||
<li>“How do I code my own web server?”</li>
|
||
<li>“How do I write my own web framework?”</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Or if you’ve just wanted to know more about software development in
|
||
general and how to become a better developer - then you are in the
|
||
right place!</p>
|
||
<p>Here’s the deal:</p>
|
||
<p><strong>I believe to become a better developer you <span class="caps"><span class="caps">MUST</span></span> get a better understanding of the underlying
|
||
software systems you use on a daily basis and that includes
|
||
programming languages, compilers and interpreters, databases and
|
||
operating systems, web servers and web frameworks. And to get a better
|
||
and deeper understanding of those systems you <span class="caps"><span class="caps">MUST</span></span> re-build them from scratch.</strong>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>So, to become better you need to understand better, and to understand better you must re-build pieces of those systems from scratch. And that is exactly what I am going to do on this blog. I am going to show you how to get started and keep going, so you too, could become a better developer and take control of those systems. And I also plan to learn a ton with you and from you. You can take a look at my different attempts to build and re-build different components on <a href="https://github.com/rspivak/">GitHub</a>.</p>

|
||
<h3>My Story</h3>
|
||
<p>I moved to Canada a while ago and now I live in beautiful
|
||
Toronto with my family.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>I’ve learned that, at least for me, the best way to learn how a
|
||
software system works is to try and deconstruct it and re-build it in
|
||
its simplest form. So if you are anything like me then please read my
|
||
posts, re-build something you’re interested in and tell me about
|
||
your experience.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read this. I hope to
|
||
see you on the blog sometime soon. Cheers!
