node-dev-learns-go-lang

I created this project to help myself learn go. I figure the best way to get up to speed, is to take on some challenges that would be simple tasks for me to complete in node.js.

Challenge 1 - Create an HTTP Server

• Static file server
• Returns a directory index on host.com/path/ fragments
• Responds with 400 error code if directory and file path not found

Challenge 2 - Create a command line health check client

$ isgreen <ip_address> [--ports]

ip_address status:
port1: green
port2: green
port3: red

Challenge 3 - Create a command line REPL fuzzy file finder

• typing finder drops into REPL mode with find> prompt
• As you type characters, an autocomplete style list appears in terminal below the prompt

Challenge 4 - Create a File System Cleanup Utility

To get an idea of what this program should do, try running: (on *nix OS)

$ find $HOME -d type -maxdepth 1 -exec du -sh {} + |sort -nr
$ find $HOME -f type -exec du -sh {} + |sort -nr
$ find $HOME -size +1000k -exec du -sh {} + |sort -nr

• given a path, returns largest directories|files
• can return unmodified files older than x days
• can report back on unused disk space and lv's
• can report back on unmounted LV's or disks with no mounted filesystems
