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:
- mirror the main sessions’ pace (once every week), remaining ~4 sessions “behind” them in terms of progression through “The Book”
- 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.
Who ?
You! (if you’re interested). And, of course, me.
Yeah, I’m up for this. It sounds like it is time to get into Rust. Never done a reading club before and I haven’t heard about the main session. This would be Mondays at noon for me which works out pretty well. Would prefer just a regular schedule instead of an accelerated schedule though.
This doesn’t look like a “read a section of the book and talk about it during the meeting” type of book club. You’ll essentially read though the section that week and we’ll do exercises together? Is that the idea?
There’s are pinned messages on https://threadiverse.link/c/learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml with details of both schedules.
You’ll have to confirm with @Jayjader@jlai.lu, but I believe that your expectations are in line with their plan.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml
LOL no
