I was working on the blog post I mentioned before regarding Arrow usage (rust) and how to use the different elements available in the create. After some thought, these were the topics I want to include:
1. Arrays examples and how they look like Basic arrays and nested arrays The buffer structure and how data is stored Builders usage Examples of complex arrays and how to construct them (using builders and from) 2. What is a record batch? How to construct a record batch How a RecordBatch is used with IPC 3. How to read files? CSV files and Parquet files 4. How to share information What is Arrow flight? How to set up a server with Rust Examples 5. How to query information from arrays? Datafusion examples However, as I was working on the examples <https://github.com/elferherrera/test_example/blob/master/src/main.rs> that I was planning to use (most of them came from the Arrow repository) I thought that the best format would be a book, something similar to the Rust book. I think this format will help us to fully explain how each constructor can be used in detail and how each of the data arrays can be used and manipulated. What do you think about it? I could start the book using the examples in the repository and the tests done as a base. However, I cannot find a quick tutorial on setting up a book like that, let alone how to host it. I know it has to be made using .md files, but that's as far as I have got. Can somebody give me a pointer on setting up something like that?
