When I started learning Nim I noticed the docs and even the getting started tutorial just threw the kitchen sink at you, it totally overwhelemed me.
So here's a simple project I wrote that's easier to understand. I work on this every couple of weeks on Saturdays.
https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim
For example: parsing html https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim/blob/master/src/crawlers/leetx.nim https://github.com/sergiotapia/torrentinim/blob/master/src/c...
I wish the Nim team worked on an easier onboarding process to the language. The documentation is in depth but it just throws everything it has at you all at once with no progression.

But nowadays there are more resources to learn Nim. The Nim in action book is a few years old but still holds. Nim basics is a free tutorial for beginners https://narimiran.github.io/nim-basics/ https://narimiran.github.io/nim-basics/ When did you start learning Nim?
- open-source-ux 6y agoYes, if you search on the web or YouTube there are surprisingly few tutorials for Nim. Compare that to Julia which has a couple of books published, and also has courses available on Udemy, LinkedIn Learning and YouTube. Some of these Julia courses are pre-1.0 Julia while Nim doesn't even have a course post 1.0 release which is a shame. Let's hope that changes soon - more learning resources can only help interest in Nim grow.
