Get Started

Download and install a recent Rust I used a nightly from 4th July, shortly after 0.11. Other versions may or may not compile. Fun!

Syntax highlighting is available in all major editors and Emacs. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/wiki/Doc-packages,-editors,-and-other-tools#editors https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/etc

Clone this repository. Preferably a branch without the answers.

Some basic syntax

Compile tests with rustc --test src/main.rs This will produce an executable called rust-dojo. Run it to run the tests.

Complete src/functions/mod.rs to make the tests pass! See comments in src/functions/tests.rs

Vague plan

• Basic syntax, pattern matching, options
• Ownership, aliasing, lifetimes
• Containers
• Types: Structs, traits
• Concurrency
• Unsafe, FFI
• Attempt to use one of the half-finished libraries or frameworks. This will be fun.
