Work in progress.

I am working on building the following exercises. I’ll update this page when these exercises are ready.

• A CLI based game to guess stars of popular GitHub repos

• A GitHub REST API consumer to download user’s data from GitHub (e.g. followers, repos, orgs, etc.)

• A fully featured REST API for an online KYC (know your customer) system. This will include REST APIs, relational DB, Redis for caching, RabbitMQ as a queue, async workers for processing, etc. This is as close to real world as it gets!
