Linux for System Administrators

Hello again everyone! This month’s post is about an awesome book I just got my hands on related to the Linux operating system.  It’s authored by both Viorel Rudareanu & Daniil Baturin. And is published by Packt, who’s got a huge line of great books and content. I’ve decided to write up a quick review of the book for anyone that interested in learning Linux or increasing their Linux OS skills.

What will this book teach me?

This is a great book for anyone that is new to Linux and would like to further their skills. Yes, it’s also great for intermediate users, who are looking for Linux best practices, as well as advanced skills such as server virtualization and Linux system security.

Rust A Programming Language

Packt has published a new book called “Rust – Web Programming” authored by Maxwell Flitton.

Now, I am totally new to this programming language. But I have to say after spending some time learning it. Rust is a language that has the potential to become very widely used for ecommerce and general websites with web applications. I have decided to create a write up for those that may have some interest in learning about Rust.

Why use Rust ?

Rust solves many pain points which are present in many other current programming languages.

Better memory usage due to better garbage collection. Most common languages such as Python, PHP and Java have a garbage collection process. However, these languages have a process that uses up extra resources and CPU time on the machine to manage and run the garbage collection process.

Speed performance is also seen to faster than most other programming languages. And Rust ever so little trails behind C++ in terms of speed.

It is much easier to learn and understand Rust. Syntax for code is easier to write, read and understand for someone that is new to programming.

Community support is huge for Rust, and you can easily find other devs using it for many user cases.

I like to review over CISA study materials and keep up with content every year. ISACA usually has small new updates every year to the auditing domains. It is always nice to see all the new changes and advancements that are being made in the auditing world. This year, I decided to check out a book and wanted to post a quick review of it for others so they may get some good use out of it too.
