[TriPython] Next TriPython meeting after this month?

[Bob Gailer]

I tried following the various Links at the end of your email. Very
frustrating. No where could I find anything that would let me even look at
a rust program or get any information about how to download it or run it.
The most promising link that offered an HTML version simply came back to
the page that I had clicked it from. I am sure I'm just missing something
obvious but could you please point me to some place where I could actually
take a look at a rust program or start learning it, without having to spend
money on an ebook.

        Hi TriPython friends -

         

        I was going to call shotgun to give my presentation on Rust at the
        December TriPython monthly meeting, but looking at the calendar there
        doesn't appear to be one scheduled.

         

        Looking at the [1]record of past monthly meetings, it appears we
     didn't
        meet December 2018 either, though we did in December 2017.

         

        When is my next opportunity to give my Rust presentation?

         

        Here's the pitch:

        Hi, I'm David Handy, long-time TriPython participator and Python
        developer. I'm a homeschooling Dad, volunteer programming tutor, and
        author of a (now out-of-print) beginning programming textbook.

         

        This summer I decided to learn the Rust programming language, because
     it
        had been recommended to me by a respected colleague as a superior
        alternative to C/C++. In my presentation I will share:

          * Brief overview of Rust features
          * Why Rust is a better systems language than C/C++
          * Rust/Python integration, with examples
          * Rust/JavaScript integration, with examples

        I learned Rust by going through [2]the Rust Book and reading,
        understanding, typing in, and running ALL of the code examples. I
     wrote
        [3]a simple hexdump utility in Rust. I also wrote a [4]mandelbrot set
        viewer in Rust and Python, which I will demonstrate in my
     presentation.

         

        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 [5]the Rust documentation to be excellent and the Rust
        community to be very welcoming. I got good answers to my questions on
        [6]the Rust forum. So I encourage my fellow Pythoneers to dive right
     in to
        Rust if they are interested!

         

        Thanks,

        David H
