Hi Bob, I think the problem is that by default the front page of the Rust book doesn't display a table of contents nor any navigation buttons, so it's not clear where to go next. [ https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ ]( https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ ) If you don't see the table of contents displayed on the left of that page, click the menu button in the upper left corner of that page and it should display it. After that, Click on Chapter 1 "Getting Started" in that table of contents. Click the ">" button on the right side of that page. It will take you to "Installation". Follow the installation instructions. Click the ">" button again to go to the "Hello, World!" page. Follow those instructions to write, compile and run your first Rust program. Please let me know if that works for you. You can email me directly if you don't want to debug on the mailing list. :) Thanks, David H -------------- next part -------------- ?On Saturday, November 16, 2019 7:48pm, "Bob Gailer" said: ? > I tried following the various Links at the end of your email.

Your questions will be welcome, but since I started learning Rust less than six months ago so my answers will be non-authoritative. :) However, I have found [ the Rust documentation ]( https://www.rust-lang.org/learn ) to be excellent and the Rust community to be very welcoming.

The setting is informal and there is no set schedule, so you are welcome to come at any point during the evening.? It's a fun time to code and? chat, with a brief break at about 7PM when we introduce ourselves and what we are working on. Hope to see you there! Thanks, as always, to Caktus for providing the meeting space and pizza. Details: When: Monday, November 18, 6-9pm Where: Caktus Group Tech Space, 108 Morris St., Durham What: Join us for our monthly project night to tinker, discuss all things Python. If you don't have something specific you are working on, that's fine. If you just need help getting started with Python, bring your laptop and we will help. If you are a veteran programmer, come on by for code and pizza. It's an informal meetup where people work on projects, talk about programming, and give and receive tips on all things Python.

However, if Python is ?the second-best language for everything?? that means the first-best is often chosen instead. Oh no! How can Pythonistas survive a project or workplace without our favorite language? Our speaker, Andrew Knight (http://automationpanda.com/), is a software engineer. His specialty is building test automation systems from the ground up, which involves both software development for test code as well as the infrastructure to run it in continuous integration. He also does Web dev and tool dev from time to time, and he love databases and compiler theory. Andrew holds a Computer Science BS/MS from RIT (http://www.rit.edu/), and is currently employed by PrecisionLender (http://precisionlender.com/) in Cary, NC. Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Plenty of free-after hours parking is available in the upper level of the deck behind WebAssign (turn through the median just before the intersection of Varsity and Main Campus Drives). If the door is locked, call the number posted on the door. An after-meeting location for food and beverage will be decided at the meeting (usually BaDa Wings at Mission Valley).

Lotta books I see start with turtle but soon move on to tkinter, which might be a bit much for that age group. Lot of books don't seem age appropriately written either. Interactive computing is learning. There's this: http://pythonturtle.org/ There are Kids Can Code videos on Youtube that can help.

I've not seen too much on there yet that would be suitable for kids. A couple of months back I tried out a cool game that teaches Python called https://codecombat.com/ I liked it because kids write what looks like real Python code in order to get stuff done. If you try it, be sure and try to figure out the ways of typing that code completion helps with so that not so much typing is required.

I?m sure every individual is different, but what motivated me was simply to have neat programs (games, demos) running on my computer. I didn?t have a modem, so all I could do was type in listings from magazines. Basically, I learned through mimicry, the same way I learned English! Then, inevitably, I would make transcription errors, which forced me to learn debugging. It was a natural and fun way to get started.
