Become an Engineer

+

+ This learning track assumes you have a computer built after 2004, with + Debian Linux, FreeBSD or OpenBSD installed. (Windows simply won't do.) +

+

Start here (read both and do all of the exercises)

+ +

Getting deeper (read all 3, do all exercises)

+ +

Low level learning

+ +

Category theory

+ +

High(er) Level Languages (pick at least 2)

+ +

+ This is the way to becoming a truly great software engineer. I've read all of these books, and I can say that they all manifest within + me a strong sense of confidence, and the ability to adapt to any situation that might come my way in computer science. +

+

+ You may be reading this list, thinking... what about Java or JavaScript??? Now, I don't think these languages are bad per-se, but I do think + they have the ability to destroy your life. Once you've used Java or JavaScript, there is a good chance you will become closed off from + the rest of the computing world, falling into a world of patterns and objects. You may also find that languages like these have the adverse + effect of having incredibly low skill-ceilings, which compounds the idea of you becoming stuck. A low ceiling, and a low floor, is a prison, not + a tool to conjure the spirits of the computer. +

Rawley Fowler

- Hi, I'm Rawley, a Software Engineer from rural Saskatchewan, Canada. - I specialize in Perl, and Go development, tackling all areas - of the software life cycle. I also like to dabble in Pure Functional languages. At work I develop microservices using Java, SpringBoot, and PostgreSQL. I'm passionate about software performance, - functional programming, and making programs safer. If you have a position that you think I'd like (especially focusing on Perl, or Go), please feel free to email me. - Outside of my professional work, I spend a lot of time contributing to open-source projects. You may or may not have used some of them :) -

-
- Saskatchewan Polytechnic: Instructor. May 2023 - Jun 2023 -

- Instructed a single class during the summer semester at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. - This class covered Docker, Software Performance, Docker Compose, and the basics of Software Architecture. - Students in the end had to develop and deploy a microservice using Docker and a technology of their choice, which was then benchmarked on the last day of class. -

-
-
- Dev-Pro Consulting: Instructor. Jun 2022 - Jan 2023 -

- Worked on various internal projects at Dev-Pro including re-designing from the ground-up, a major internal product, using WebSockets and Angular 14 features. - Daily work consisted of developing with Angular, Java, and PostgreSQL, and deploying through an internal Jenkins CI/CD platform. -

Education

-
- Saskatchewan Polytechnic: Computer Systems Technology. Sept 2021 - Jun 2023 -

- Took a 2 year diploma to upgrade my skills, this included courses in Azure Cloud, Advanced Database Management, and ended with a capstone project using - .NET, Vue.js, Docker, Pusher, Heroku, AWS RDS and PostgreSQL. -

-
-
- University of Regina: Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. Sept 2020 - Jun 2021 -

- Studied various mathematical concepts (mostly Linear Algebra, and Calculus), ultimately did not finish due to extraneous circumstances. Hoping to have the time one day to complete this degree. -
