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 @[email protected] for the idea.
Do the streams get recorded? Tuesday at that time I can’t make it (other days are ok), but I’d probably prefer a recording anyways.
Someone might want a few extra minutes on a problem and recordings would allow for pausing. Downside is that people may be less likely to participate if it stays recorded?
They absolutely will be. I’ll be streaming to youtube at the same time in order to keep the vod there as twitch seems to only keep it up for a week unless you’re an affiliate or partner
Sounds fun! I completed like half the book previously. This might be the motivation I need.
I’m in the same boat myself, though I didn’t get more than a few chapters in so it’s likely a common trait. We’ll be happy to have you
