Hi All! Welcome to the Reading Club for Rust’s “The Book” (“The Rust Programming Language”). This is week 1 (the beginning!!).
Have a shot at going through “the reading” and post any thoughts, confusions or insights here
“The Reading”
-
Finish up to Chapter 2: “Programming a Guessing Game”
-
The Book: https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu/title-page.html (the special Brown University version with quizzes etc)
The Twitch Stream
- @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works ran a twitch stream on these chapters which is now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou2c5J6FmsM
- You might prefer watching and listening to that rather than reading the book.
- Be sure to catch future streams (will/should be weekly: https://www.twitch.tv/deerfromsmoke)
What’s Next Week?
- Chapters 3 and 4
- Start thinking about challenges or puzzles to try as we go in order to get some applied practice!
- EG, Advent of Code
- Maybe some basic/toy web apps such as a “todo”
Oh I was completely wrong.
cmp()takes a number (not Ordering) and returns Ordering. Sorry for bothering you.Pretty sure that’s what this is all about! A safe space to work through the ideas and details without worrying about being wrong. I wouldn’t have understood this better if you didn’t “bother” me and now we (and anyone else reading this presumably) are both better off!
