This is a series of training courses about writing distributed systems in Go andRust. It is maintained by PingCAP for training and/or evaluating students, newemployees, and new contributors toTiDB andTiKV. As such, the courses focuson subjects relevant to those projects. They are though appropriate for all Goand Rust programmers — they do not require any knowledge of or interest ineither TiDB or TiKV.

The courses primarily consist of projects (or "labs") where coding problems arepresented, along with a partial implementation or API description, and a testsuite.

Each course is developed independently, so they vary in their presentation andtheir expectations from course-takers. See the individual course documentationfor details.

• Practical Networked Applications in Rust. A series of projectsthat incrementally develop a single Rust project from the ground up into ahigh-performance, networked, parallel and asynchronous key/value store. Alongthe way various real-world and practical Rust development subject matter areexplored and discussed. Knowledge of the subject matter can be considered aprerequisite to Distributed Systems in Rust.

• Distributed Systems in Rust. Adapted from theMIT 6.824distributed systems coursework, this course focuses on implementing importantdistributed algorithms, including theRaft consensus algorithm.

• Distributed Systems in Go. Distributed systems algorithms in Go.
