Project Notes

#017 - The Explainer

My first experiment with gRPC and various language bindings.

The Explainer Protocol

The Explainer is totally inspired by Natalie Silvanovich’s Hardware Excuse Generator

These examples implement clients and servers in various languages that talk the Explainer Protocol.

And they should inter-operate! Let’s see..

Language Bindings and Examples

C++ - client
C# - client
Node.js - client
Python - client
Ruby - client and server

LittleCodingKata is my collection of programming exercises, research and code toys broadly spanning things that relate to programming and software development (languages, frameworks and tools).

These range from the trivial to the complex and serious. Many are inspired by existing work and I'll note credits and references where applicable. The focus is quite scattered, as I variously work on things new and important in the moment, or go back to revisit things from the past.

This is primarily a personal collection for my own edification and learning, but anyone who stumbles by is welcome to borrow, steal or reference the work here. And if you spot errors or issues I'd really appreciate some feedback - create an issue, send me an email or even send a pull-request.
