I have been learning C++/Elixir recently and I’ve made a distributed port scanner & and a streaming platform with Elixir (what an amazing language to work with) and some fun in C++ (also super cool to use).
I feel like I gained basic mastery of the languages, but I’ve been meaning to deepen my knowledge of them. However, I don’t know where to start now…
Can you give me ideas, open-source project that I could help, etc… ? Thanks!
Man. It must be nice not to be drowning in 30 unfinished projects with another 30 on your mind to start all the time.
Usually, if I learn a new language, it’s because it seems like the right language for whatever project I’m wanting to undertake rather than “I want to learn a language; let’s see if I can come up with a project to do in that language.”
- practical – (as @small44 mentions) build apps for yourself
- fun – build a game
- theory – do one of the coding challenges – Advent of Code, Project Euler, Codewars, Basic Computer Games, …
- starting out – Learn X in Y Minutes
- examples – Rosetta Code
I don’t, i just think of app that can be useful for me
100% this. I find an itch to scratch and build it using something new.
