Hi all!

What?

I will be holding the fourth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements). This week, we will be starting chapter 4: "Understanding Ownership".

Previous session details and recording can be found in the following lemmy post: https://jlai.lu/post/5278834

Why?

This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

(also, obviously, to follow up on the previous session)

When ?

Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+1 (aka 6pm Central European Time) on Monday (2023-03-25). If you were present for a previous session, then basically the same time as that one was.

Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

How ?

The basic format is: I will be sharing my computer screen and voice through an internet live stream (hosted at https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader for now). The stream will simultaneously be recorded locally and uploaded afterwards to youtube (also, for now). Edit: the recording can be found at the following link: https://youtu.be/YmMreNK3fcw.

I will have on-screen:

• the BU online version of The Book
• a terminal session with the necessary tooling installed (notably rustup and through it cargo & "friends")
• some form of visual aid (currently a digital whiteboard using www.excalidraw.com)
• the live stream's chat

I will steadily progress through the chapter, both reading aloud the literal chapter text and commenting occasionally on it. I will also perform any code writing and/or terminal commands as the text instructs us to.

People who either tune in to the live stream or watch/listen to the recording are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the book.

I try to address any comments from live viewers in the twitch chat as soon as I am aware of them. If someone is having trouble understanding something, I will stop and try to help them get past it.

The interactive quizzes have started getting more interesting! Unfortunately, we're still on a decent delay from when I'm speaking to when I see people's comments appear in chat, so we will most likely continue to work through them in a more disjointed manner than the rest of the material.

Who ?

You! (if you're interested). And, of course, me.

Hi all!

I will be holding the third of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements). This week, we will be continuing (and hopefully concluding) chapter 3: "Common Programming Concepts". Last session covered sections 3.1 and 3.2; this session will start at section 3.3 (Functions).

The interactive quizzes have so far been too trivial to warrant working on the answers collectively. This week might prove different; we can see how we prefer to work through them as we encounter them.

Hi all!

What?

I will be starting a secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We will, also, very likely use the Brown University online edition (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements).

Why?

This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability.

When ?

Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+1 (aka 6pm Central European Time). Effectively, this is 6 hours "earlier in the day" than when the main sessions start, as of writing this post.

The first stream will happen on the coming Monday (2023-03-04).

Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions but would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!). Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference.

How ?

We will start from the beginning of "The Book".

There are 2 options:

1. mirror the main sessions' pace (once every week), remaining ~4 sessions "behind" them in terms of progression through "The Book"
2. attempt to catch up to the main sessions' progression

I am personally interested in trying out 2 sessions each week, until we are caught up. This should effectively result in 2-3 weeks of biweekly sessions before we slow back down. I'm not doing this just for me, however, so if most people joining these sessions prefer the first option I'm happy to oblige.

I will be hosting the session from my own twitch channel, https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader . I'll be recording the session as well;~~this post should be edited to contain the url for the recording, once I have uploaded it~~ here's a youtube link to the recording of the session: https://youtu.be/gQDO_UtXKBg
