Alexey Kutepov (Tsoding) has created a video series over the past week, working to create a todo application in linux with fasm.

Episode 1
Episode 2
Episode 3
Episode 4

Repository

Each of the present episodes are over two hours of streaming. In time he will no doubt edit the streams down and post them on his YouTube Channel - which might be a better viewing option for some. (Which is A LOT of work and he tends to get backlogged on material for YouTube.)

During streaming Alexey speaks some about the community and projects using fasm.
(I've not time to watch the episodes completely (atm), but it seems a good introduction of Linux assembly.)

[I listened to the VODs while working on other things. So, although I missed the shenanigans going on in chat, I can give a brief review of the streams:]

Review:

Tsoding, though a seasoned developer, is relatively new to both fasm and x86_64 assembly. This makes his workflow particularly enlightening, as he illustrates how to apply general programming expertise to unfamiliar low-level domains. While experts in x86_64 may wish to temper expectations, the journey provides valuable insights into tackling new challenges with structured approaches.

He navigates the complexities and pitfalls of learning assembly, but his determination, grounded in previously mastered skills, propels him forward. This resilience serves as a valuable lesson for all viewers.

His audience displays a keen interest in assembly programming, making future content with fasm probable. Beyond educational value, Tsoding's streams are enlivened by his natural humor and exaggerated commentaries, enhancing the viewer experience.

For those interested in specialized projects like customizing redsock's https://2ton.com.au/, this series can serve as an introductory resource, although additional study will surely be needed. The content should resonate especially well with those skeptical of JavaScript's ubiquity.

I would outline the episodes thus:
    Overview
  • Introduction (fasm)
  • Debugging Workflow (gdb+gf2)
  • API Discovery (grep)
    Moving Forward
  • Routing Actions
  • State Machine Thinking
  • Problem Solving
  • Rendering List
  • Stack Explanation
    Database
  • Organizing Code (fasm source)
  • Debugging Socket Configuration
  • Javascript Detour
  • Simple Database

I read his three Assembly source files for the web app on GitHub, they are not bad, in fact, I got inspired by the way he organized the code. I am new to socket programming.

On another note, his GitHub has astounding 3.3K followers, what a massive amount of followers!

Seems I spoke too soon, Tsoding has already uploaded the first episode to YouTube. I remember he didn't like episode 2/3, and was saying perhaps they would be consolidated. To my understanding, Twitch will delete the VODs and YouTube is used for archiving content?

Most all his repos are his creations - he regularly works in different programming languages. For example, he is a (non-public) beta tester for Jai. This type of variety streaming gathers many followers, imho. He's been getting better over the years at promotion - making entertaining (audio/visual) projects, being an edgy character. Appeasing the masses is non-trivial to say the least.
