Wizard Zines - Comics

لذت می‌برم که آدم‌ها گوشهٔ دنج خودشون رو پیدا می‌کنن و توش کارهای خوب می‌کنن. نمونه‌اش همینJulia Evans @b0rk. از این که مفهوم‌های سخت کامپیوتری رو به بقیه توضیح بده لذت می‌برده، و همین رو تبدیل کرده به شغلش. فقط هم برای پول درآوردن راهنما نمی‌نویسه؛ همین تازگی‌ها همین جا تو ماستودون می‌دیدم که کلی به راهنماهای رسمی git کمک‌های جدی کرده بود.

امروز روی همهٔ راهنماهاش ۵۰٪ تخفیف گذاشته بود. من هم یه بستهٔ چهارتاییش رو خریدم: bash, linux, networking, command line.

Just ordered the #wizardzines collection from @b0rk after a friend showed me the terminal issue, excited to get them and learn!

New zines from @b0rk just came in the mail!

#zines #wizardzines

I heard, @b0rk loves being tagged by excited recipients of her #wizardzines?

There you go, another proud owner of the #HowGitWorks #zine reporting in 🫡

And yes, the absurdly large recipient font is just awesome! 🤩🧙‍♂️

Like with all Wizard Zines, copy-editing the Git Zine was a pleasure. Since Julia and her small army of beta-readers and helpers help refine the zine into such a smooth, readable product, by the time it's ready for me, it's truly a delight to read — and SO informative!

Following the "Implement DNS in a Weekend" guide ( https://implement-dns.wizardzines.com/book/intro ) by @b0rk of Wizard Zines ( https://wizardzines.com/ ) , I implemented a toy DNS resolver - using #lua !

Almighty source code:

https://github.com/wem1c/weekend_dns_lua

This was a very cool project to do! I learned so much about dns resolving, byte code parsing, and the differences in how Lua and Python work.

I'll have a post up on the process in the near future.

Thank you for the wonderful guide, Julia! <3

I haven't read the #WizardZines Issue "Oh shit, git!" by @b0rk, yet
but her other explanatory comics on complex technical issues are super cool and boost your understanding pretty much. It's probably a good bet to get into git with fun and minimal effort.
