Hey HN!

What are some good recommendations to learn distributed microservices? I feel as if I am missing this key skillset from my portfolio and it might be a hindrance whenever I switch jobs. My company does not provide working opportunity in this area for me so looking to learn this externally.

Thanks in advance!

The question is focussed towards day to day networking concepts that developers encounter on a daily basis. I find myself at a loss when we discuss concepts like encryption, DNS, LDAP, SSL, setting up digital certificates, etc. I am not sure if some more devs feel that way. Maybe it's because I did not focus during my networking classes in college? I don't know.

Note that I am definitely aware of basic principles like LAN, IPs, etc. It's just that sometimes networking talk eludes me when it comes to advanced or even medium level concepts.

About my job profile -> I am a big data engineer working regularly with AWS, Spark, etc. but this is much recent, earlier I had been a .net engineer. So, you could say my interaction with the linux world is much recent. Note sure if the context helped :)

I would really appreciate to be pointed to helpful(but practical) resources or share if someone felt like this and did something about it. Thanks again!

I've been meaning to learn (through hands-on) about designing websites like amazon, etc. So I needed to find a course that taught something like that through exercises (note that I could not find a good book that taught something like this through exercises!). I found MIT OCW's 6.171 ( http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-171-software-engineering-for-web-applications-fall-2003/index.htm ) Has anyone completed this course earlier? How would you rate it? Also, this course is from 2003 so I am not sure would if it would be a good fit in today's times? I'd like to know and I'd very much appreciate the thoughts on this and on how to learn about designing such applications through a hands-on course or book. So, please let me know your thoughts on this, any resources you know about!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanking in anticipation.

Hi, I am practicing for interviews and just had my first pramp interview. It was an awesome experience! But my guess is that pramp is not too popular right now or does not have too many users. Can pramp creators please comment? How many users do you have? I think it's a great service and I'd like to help in any way to attract more users to pramp so that we can have awesome mock interviews preparation and practice! So, what's the user base? Is it mostly just students right now?

Hi, In 2015, I got through the H1-B lottery but during my H1-B interview, the interviewer gave me a 221g slip asking more documents from the petitioner. It has been more than 2 months but the petitioner has not submitted those documents. And as such I want to look for a new employer. Where do I start?

Thanking in anticipation!
