Try X in Y minutes, Git by example, and zero dependency club.
Hi! I'm Anton, Golang developer and SQLite enthusiast. I work on open-source and blog about programming.

Long time no see! Hope you are well.
Since the last issue, I've launched Try X in Y minutes — an easy way to get a quick taste of your next language (database/package/tool) by studying interactive guides in the browser, without downloading or installing anything.
You can try languages like Bash, SQL or C, databases like PostgreSQL or FerretDB, networking tools like Curl or Caddy, and other nice stuff like Mermaid or Scikit-learn. The project is community-driven, so feel free to contribute more guides!
I've also created Git by example — an interactive step-by-step guide to Git operations, from basic to advanced. It's also available as a PDF mini-book and bookmarkable playground.
On a completely unrelated note, I've started the Zero Dependency Club — a curated list of packages, tools, and other software with zero third-party dependencies. Just because having zero dependencies is awesome. Feel free to submit a PR if you know of such packages!
That's all for now! See you in about two weeks (or probably a month; who am I kidding).
Anton
