Hello, I am Michal Skorczak, a Polish software engineer based in the UK.
+ +Fan of all things free (as in beer) and free (as in freedom); + especially when it comes to computers.
+ +Currently working on + various projects but + primarily on integrating zap + with sqlite for a + simple to use API that I can use in my other projects.
+ +Outside of my software (and soon hardware) projects, I can be found spending + my time playing guitar, painting Orks, reading and trying to run a + Minecraft server.

+With an interview fast approaching and the prospect of having to talk about + a project I've created looming; it's best that I actually create something + and am able to talk about the design process.
+So despite this site being able to one of those projects, something with + more flair would be helpful and by flair I mean, it does more than just + serve HTML back.
+So the following will be the documented process of how I went about creating + TODOWEB.
+What I hope to create:
+I'm thinking, that having a web application that allows for users to login + and create updates to their own personal todo lists would be a good place + to start. Extensions from this should come later (such as giving them an + API to pull data from). Therefore, the following functionality needs to + exist:
+From here I'm making the following assumptions/list of tasks:
+This really doesn't seem to bad.
+My best bet is the just start building at least one of these things + (it'll be the database as that's going to be the most annoying) and then + come back and update this page as the updates to the project progress.
+However, the tech stack I intend to use for this (and how I've already set + up the project) will be writing the backend in Zig (using Zap) as a + framework, SQLITE as the database engine and then HTMX as the + front-end.
+Hopefully, this will be BLAZINGLY FAST

+I need to be on the most up to date version of Zig (master) in order to make + use of all of these fancy libraries, I'll just try compiling from source + and see how long that takes on this machine. Surely, nothing will + go wrong!

+I LOVE ZIG SO MUCH!!!!!! Being able to just download the binary and + have everything work is HOW IT SHOULD BE. This also means that I can + go back and use the other version of the library, no compiling LLVM for me! + At least this time...

+They work! Both Zap and the zig-sqlite libraries load and their demo versions + are functional! This now means that I can start on trying to get some kind + of base plate down! I say that, but I must refer back to what exactly I want + to accomplish otherwise I'll lose sight. Right now, I think designing the + DB to handle user logins is going to be my best bet. However, once this is + done, a lot of the other parts should fall into place as if I can register, + login and show user data on a page; then having linked data to a user should + be a breeze!
+This is really begining to sound and look like rambling, but I know that I'd + end up loving reading something like this, reminds me of The Martian (2015) + with the video logs, lame example and thing to reference but that's where + I've gone!

+I had worked on this last night but had forgotten to write an update, whilst + everything appears to be working (zig build run works), it seems that + I need to do a lot more reading on how Zig really works.
+(This also reminds me that I need to add code blocks into this site, but for + now just making references to things will do)
+With the way that `sqlite.Db` works, what I ideally want to do is wrap it + within my own struct that I can then call a `.get()` method on for the zap + user authentication. The Lookup for the Authenticator will need to mimic + a hashmap, (which is what it uses in the example code). So in theory, it + should just be a case of having that `.get()` method return a []const + u8.
+But it is with this wrapping that I am encountering issues, probably best + that I read up, not on the syntax that would make it work but HOW + Zig wants me to think about it.
+I'd encountered something similar when doing a technical test in React, + the syntax was just Javascript so that wasn't the issue, but the ideas and + philosophy of HOW these things work together (I've never used States + before) was the missing link!
