# Learning new languages and documenting my journey

Repository which documents my journey in learning new languages.

Currently learning:

<style>
  /* center all content within cells */
  table {
    width: 100%;
    border-collapse: collapse;
  }

  th, td {
    text-align: center;
  }

</style>

<table align="center">

(and C++, but that is gonna happen in embedded systems, so I won't document it here)

## Idea
I will spend about 5 hours a week learning each language. This is **NOT** a priority, but rather a side project to keep me entertained and to learn new things.

The main idea is to use these new languages to solve relevant problems!

## Structure
```
.
├── language
│   ├── sessions -- if I am doing a course or something
│   │   ├── 13_03 -- date (dd_mm)
│   │   │   ├── notes.md
│   │   │   └── exercises/ -- if I have any
│   |-- algorithmic -- if I am doing algorithmic problems
|   |-- practical -- if I decide to do something practical (usually documentation and a submodule of the main repo)
│   |-- README.md -- main README
```

## Writeups
Sometimes, I find some question and/or topic so interesting, that I decide to write a blog post about it. 
Check out the `writeups` folder for more information.

> [!NOTE]
> Once a writeup is finished, I will remove it from the folder and [post it here](https://confest.im).
