General page for the Rust for Lemmings Reading Club.

All relevant links and posts should be collected here (go to specific discussion posts for discussion).

Also, a link to this “Portal”, and any others, should be in the sidebar for easy access.

General Structure of the Reading Club:

Each week, around Tuesday/Wednesday, we’ll go through a section of “The Book”, typically a couple of chapters
There’ll be a twitch stream too, currently running out of this channel: https://www.twitch.tv/deerfromsmoke
And there’ll be a post for discussion here (in [email protected] )
See earlier formative discussions on starting this here and here.

A good companion set of materials to use are @[email protected] 's videos over on PeerTube (fediverse youtube).

Week 4

…

Welcome

A collaborative space for people to work together on learning Rust, learning about the Lemmy code base, discussing whatever confusions or difficulties we’re having in these endeavours, and solving problems, including, hopefully, some contributions back to the Lemmy code base.

Rules TL;DR: Be nice, constructive, and focus on learning and working together on understanding Rust and Lemmy.

Policies and Purposes

This is a place to learn and work together.

Questions and curiosity is welcome and encouraged.

This isn’t a technical support community. Those with technical knowledge and experienced aren’t obliged to help, though such is very welcome. This is closer to a library of study groups than stackoverflow. Though, forming a repository of useful information would be a good side effect.

This isn’t an issue tracker for Lemmy (or Rust) or a place for suggestions. Instead, it’s where the nature of an issue, what possible solutions might exist and how they could be or were implemented can be discussed, or, where the means by which a particular suggestion could be implemented is discussed.
