Michael #1: PostgresREST

PostgREST serves a fully RESTful API from any existing PostgreSQL database. It provides a cleaner, more standards-compliant, faster API than you are likely to write from scratch.
Speedy
- First the server is written in Haskell using the Warp HTTP server (aka a compiled language with lightweight threads).
- Next it delegates as much calculation as possible to the database.
- Finally it uses the database efficiently with the Hasql library
PostgREST handles authentication (via JSON Web Tokens) and delegates authorization to the role information defined in the database. This ensures there is a single declarative source of truth for security.

Michael #3: Bend

A massively parallel, high-level programming language.
With Bend you can write parallel code for multi-core CPUs/GPUs without being a C/CUDA expert with 10 years of experience.
It feels just like Python!
No need to deal with the complexity of concurrent programming: locks, mutexes, atomics... any work that can be done in parallel will be done in parallel.

Brian #4: The Smartest Way to Learn Python Regular Expressions

Christian Mayer, Zohaib Riaz, and Lukas Rieger
Self published ebook on Python Regex that utilizes
- book form readings, links to video course sections
- puzzle challenges to complete online
It’s a paid resource, but the min is free.
