<p><strong>Michael #1:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest">PostgresREST</a></p>
<ul>
<li>PostgREST serves a fully RESTful API from any existing PostgreSQL database. It provides a cleaner, more standards-compliant, faster API than you are likely to write from scratch.</li>
<li>Speedy
<ul>
<li>First the server is written in <a href="https://www.haskell.org/">Haskell</a> using the <a href="http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2011/03/preliminary-warp-cross-language-benchmarks">Warp</a> HTTP server (aka a compiled language with lightweight threads). </li>
<li>Next it delegates as much calculation as possible to the database.</li>
<li>Finally it uses the database efficiently with the <a href="https://nikita-volkov.github.io/hasql-benchmarks/">Hasql</a> library</li>
</ul></li>
<li>PostgREST <a href="http://postgrest.org/en/stable/auth.html">handles authentication</a> (via JSON Web Tokens) and delegates authorization to the role information defined in the database. This ensures there is a single declarative source of truth for security.</li>

<ul>
<li>Jacob Padilla</li>
<li>Cool tutorial walking through how async works, including
<ul>
<li>Generators Review</li>
<li>The Event Loop</li>
<li>Sleeping</li>
<li>Yield to Await</li>
<li>Await with AsyncIO</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Another great async resource is:

<p><strong>Michael #3:</strong> <a href="https://higherorderco.com">Bend</a></p>
<ul>
<li>A massively parallel, high-level programming language.</li>
<li>With <strong>Bend</strong> you can write parallel code for multi-core CPUs/GPUs without being a C/CUDA expert with 10 years of experience. </li>
<li>It feels just like Python!</li>
<li>No need to deal with the complexity of concurrent programming: locks, mutexes, atomics... <strong>any</strong> work that can be done in parallel <strong>will</strong> be done in parallel.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Brian #4:</strong> <a href="https://leanpub.com/regexpython/">The Smartest Way to Learn Python Regular Expressions</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Christian Mayer, Zohaib Riaz, and Lukas Rieger</li>
<li>Self published ebook on Python Regex that utilizes
<ul>
<li>book form readings, links to video course sections</li>
<li>puzzle challenges to complete online</li>
</ul></li>
<li>It’s a paid resource, but the min is free.</li>
