If you are interested in distributed systems , I found the book "Designing data intensive application by Martin Kleppmann" to be a good starting point. Its not about only about distributed systems but also covers quite a bit of ground on overall data systems. https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Data-Intensive-Applications...
Thanks ,these seem to be quite good. Watched only a couple of videos yet , but got the idea of how this is useful.

Ask HN: How do I take a leap to Expert by writing a software myself ?

I have been reading alot of "How to" articles regarding projects saying "stuff in 500 lines.". How should I go about writing a system from ground up , with minimalistic use of already written things. Please point me to sources I should follow in a step by step fashion to write all parts of a software from scratch.
