After dogfooding a bit, here's what I think would improve modmod a lot:
"rust-analyzer.linkedProjects"
) and recommended extensionsHi, awesome work! When I recorded my video based on your slides this morning I noticed something that didn't look right.
In this example in slides/slides.md:
fn sum(data: &[i32]) -> i32 { /* ... */ }
fn get_v_arr() -> &'static [i32] {
&[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
}
fn get_v_vec() -> &'static [i32] {
&vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
}
fn main() {
let all = sum(get_v_arr());
let all_vec = sum(get_v_vec());
}
There is a compile error:
error[E0515]: cannot return reference to temporary value
--> src/main.rs:10:5
|
10 | &vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
| ^-------------------------
| ||
| |temporary value created here
| returns a reference to data owned by the current function
I don't think there is a way to do what we are trying to do here (create a Vec as a literal and expect it to have static lfetime) - I think this example should be edited to mention array literals only.

Rust 101 is meant to be multi purpose. Therefore, we define a set of different learning tracks consisting of several modules of which we define modules and subjects their content is dependent on.
As a start, we can define the following tracks:
We also explore the possiblity of setting up a track that uses Rust as a first programming language. See #25

This may be deliberate, but I have noticed that there is a wide variation in the amount of time some of the exercises take. If it is deliberate, maybe it's worth providing some notes so that lecturers can judge when and how to set the work.
Most of the questions seemed to take me 10-30 minutes to complete, but local storage vec took me about 4 hours (see videos part 1 and part 2) and quizzer took me 4h 40 minutes (see video). Admittedly, I am putting in extra time to write robust tests, but even without that these would have taken me a long time.
I was talking with @dudo50 about solution for the exercise and we are not sure what should be a correct output
Once we've piloted a module, we should describe the lecture and tutorial formats in more detail, in order for other users of this course to get a better understanding of what we suggest is a good way to provide the content to the students.
Currently, modmod builds a NodeJS package that uses Slidev to create slideshows out of markdown files. Being a Rust course, it would be nice to depend only on Rust-based tooling, and therefore swap out Slidev for something Rust based.
What we need in a tool:
compilation of the example on the slide fails... line 6 : replacing "rhs : Self" with "rhs : u32" makes it work.

This tracks the progress of the A0 module, which aims to help bridge the gap for two target groups to move onto A1. The groups that are targeted:
This should really represent an optional course that can be included in specific situations. It could serve as a resource for students or provide exercises to study specific low-level concepts.
This was proposed and discussed in #18.
This is a list of things this module should aim to teach. This is not necessarily ordered.
The slides on a specific concept should focus the rough structure:
The module contains many small and rewarding exercises to teach. All of these exercise should be on the Rust Playground and try to really focus on a specific concept per time.
Box
and Vec
but nothing else.To allow teachers to more easily get started with Rust 101, add a teacher's companion to the course. The teacher's companion should describe which modules can be used for different situations and target audiences, and describes per module how it should be taught, how much time we estimate the module takes, and where to find background information on the module subjects.
Hey, I decided to look through the Course Material and have some questions and comments which hopefully can help the course forward. Overal I agree with most of the structure.
What is the actual target audience of the course? Is it targeting first year's students or students later in their university life? My current impression is that is trying to target both, which is fine but is probably quite a lot more difficult.
To deal with these differences in the audience experience, it may be interesting to provide a block with most programming syntax and semantics sections with 4-5 tabs. This should try to explain it which the readers specific context and give the professors good resources depending on the context at the university.
One tab should explain the concept as if the reader has no programming experience, others should explain it as if the reader is coming from a specific programming language. As far as I know the most common languages to learn first at university are C, Python, Java and JavaScript. We can compare basic concepts to how they are in those languages.
The A1 module mostly seems fine to me. One of the parts I maybe agree a bit less with is the Move Semantics. Personally, I would take this chance to explain the rationale for the Borrow Checker and also explain the Drop semantics (not the Drop trait). I feel like most people would agree this is one of the major mechanisms that sets rust apart from other programming languages and having people familiar with it seems like something you want to do as soon as possible. Later you could link back onto this and explain things in a little more detail. Meanwhile students may connect some dots and detect some patterns themselves.
Some others small things:
rustc --explain
is really usefulThis is probably the module I have the most comments about.
const
contexts.macro_rules!
since these are widely usedMaybe, it is an idea to have an A0 module that is specifically for universities trying to use Rust as their intro to programming class. This may be out of the scope of this project, let me know.
This module can explain some of the more general and basic programming concepts. This could cover motivations for items and introduce working code without to much explanation as to what they are. Providing a lot of space for the student to infer their own patterns. I need to do more research into how other courses do this, but right now some of the items I think it should introduce are:
I think it will be very difficult to balance time and what to explain where.
I would love to help writing parts of this course. I would love to hear your opinions on these items and if you agree with some, I can send a PR with those changes. Also, if you would like me to look into some specifics let me know. If you would like to have me start writing on some topic, also let me know. Again, would love to help.
