This repository is to serve as a collection of compression algorithms implemented in Python and/or Rust as a learning exercise.
In addition, I am putting together (very work-in-progress) book where I will jot down concepts and toy problems I come across, which will hopefully improve my understandings. This is built with Jupyter-Book using this website as inspiration.
This can build locally with:
$ cd book && jupyterbook build . && open _build/html/index.htmlAlternatively, visit www.compression-cookbook.com
