05:34 <FromGitter> <wwalker> I need a VERY simple queue. 1 publisher, a few subscribers. I want to write in crsytal. So far I've found 2 amqp shards, and one zeromq shard. ⏎ ⏎ `datanoise/amqp.cr` with no commits for 4 years, and apaprently not working with new versions of crystal ⏎ `crystal-community/zeromq-crystal` [https://gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal?at=63d4b3cbfc90af0348a6c682]

09:43 <FromGitter> <naqvis> haven't used myself, but this one seems updated recently. ⏎ ⏎ https://github.com/cloudamqp/amqp-client.cr

09:45 <FromGitter> <naqvis> you can consider using `redis` as your pub/sub server, and crystal client library https://github.com/stefanwille/crystal-redis

14:05 <mps> did anyone bought book "Crystal Programming" from packt, written by George Dietrich and Guilherme Bernal. is the worth money?

16:38 <FromGitter> <z:uxn.one> I've been considering it

17:50 <FromGitter> <z:uxn.one> Can someone recommend a few projects to help me learn Crystal?

17:53 <FromGitter> <ropermen> I did. Yes, It's so worth it.

18:04 <FromGitter> <wwalker> Thanks @naqvis redis would probably work just fine for my simple need.

18:05 <FromGitter> <wwalker> <evil grin> You could write a publisher and a subscriber for redis....

18:11 <FromGitter> <revskill10> Do you know any good kafka client for crystal ?

18:12 <mps> ropermen: thanks. I already bought "Programming Crystal" released 2019 written by Ivo Balbaert. Though it is useful to some degree I didn't learned much from it

18:16 <mps> I want to by good book for my daughter because she is interested in learning crystal and she don't know ruby. and previous book I bought expect that reader knows ruby to some degree

20:09 <FromGitter> <mane:arcticfoxes.net> @mps i know of that one and the one from Packt Publishing (May 27, 2022) "Crystal Programming: A project-based introduction to building efficient, safe, and readable web and CLI applications" by George Dietrich and Guilherme Bernal

20:09 <FromGitter> <mane:arcticfoxes.net> It's still on my reading list so can't recommend it yet

20:11 <FromGitter> <mane:arcticfoxes.net> But it's about doing project based learning

20:13 <FromGitter> <mane:arcticfoxes.net> https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Crystal-Programming

20:17 <FromGitter> <mane:arcticfoxes.net> Screenshot_20230128-221712_MuPDF viewer.png (https://gitter.ems.host/_matrix/media/v1/download/arcticfoxes.net/ulmtUrGApTOUNCBqKllXoxCj)

20:54 <FromGitter> <Blacksmoke16> It expects prior programming knowledge, but experience with Ruby is not required

21:08 <mps> mane:arcticfoxes.net: yes, I saw github examples

21:09 <mps> eveen read few first pages on google books here https://books.google.rs/books?id=kV1wEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA53&hl=sr&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false

21:09 <mps> looks like rest of book is promising

21:10 <mps> Blacksmoke16: that's ok, because my daughter know C

22:11 <FromGitter> <ropermen> @mps

22:12 <FromGitter> <ropermen> @mps, Just out of curiosity, how old is your daughter?

22:16 <mps> ropermen: more than 20, she is student at university

22:23 <FromGitter> <ropermen> That's great.

22:24 <FromGitter> <ropermen> I think crystal is a very intuitive language. I own a company that has been providing services to the public sector (government) for almost 25 years. The products are implemented in Ruby on Rails. I met Crystal a couple of years ago. Currently we have implemented some new modules in Crystal. I'm passionate about Crystal syntax.

22:25 <mps> in my long programming/computing experience I'm not sure it is great, maybe some other simpler professions are better :)

22:26 <mps> ropermen: yes crystal syntax is very nice, easily readable
