The concept

A streamed reading club focused on rusts The Book and becoming reasonably good rust developers through community collaboration. If you’re interested, please comment so we know this’s something you’d like to join in on.

A Begining

To begin, I’ll be setting up a twitch stream where we read through the book together and solve some problems together related to the concepts provided. We’ll be able to collaborate in chat, and talk about it here after each stream. This way, we’ll be able to lean on each other or just hang out while we learn the language Lemmy uses for it’s backend. Other hosts will be welcome as the end goal is to create a group of people whose goal is to support our collective growth as developers

Anybodies welcome of any skill set, whether or not they want to continue on once we get to lemmys code base. If you’re completely new to rust this is a great place to start and if you already know the language we’d love to have you all the more. At the very least it’s a good networking opportunity but you’ll likely learn more than you thought.

Timing

Please comment your availability so we can find the best time and day to do this. As a stand-in and default though, 6:30pm EST (New York Time) on tuesday will be the start time. I’d be available on most days myself after 5pm Eastern Time (new york) though so don’t hesitate to suggest another time/date.

Where?

For now, I’ll be streaming this on a twitch channel I created a bit ago but never used. The link is here: https://www.twitch.tv/deerfromsmoke

Thank you @morrowind@lemmy.ml for the idea.

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.

Rules

Lemmy.ml rule 2 applies strongly: “Be respectful, even when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome” (see Dessalines’s post). This is a constructive space.

Don’t demean, intimidate or do anything that isn’t constructive and encouraging to anyone trying to learn or understand. People should feel free to ask questions, be curious, and fill their gaps knowledge and understanding.

Posts and comments should be (more or less) within scope (on which see Policies and Purposes above).

See the Lemmy Code of Conduct

Where applicable, rules should be interpreted in light of the Policies and Purposes.
