These follow the flow of what I actually teach, which spends a
significant amount of time on the latter slide. I think it's worthwhile
to have a real flow documented in the teaching notes, both to make sure
nothing gets forgotten and to structure the experience of teaching.
This is the result of running `dprint fmt` after removing `src/` from
the list of excluded directories.
This also reformats the Rust code: we might want to tweak this a bit in
the future since some of the changes removes the hand-formatting. Of
course, this formatting can be seen as a mis-feature, so maybe this is
good overall.
Thanks to mdbook-i18n-helpers 0.2, the POT file is nearly unchanged
after this, meaning that all existing translations remain valid! A few
messages were changed because of stray whitespace characters:
msgid ""
"Slices always borrow from another object. In this example, `a` has to remain "
-"'alive' (in scope) for at least as long as our slice. "
+"'alive' (in scope) for at least as long as our slice."
msgstr ""
The formatting is enforced in CI and we will have to see how annoying
this is in practice for the many contributors. If it becomes annoying,
we should look into fixing dprint/check#11 so that `dprint` can annotate
the lines that need fixing directly, then I think we can consider more
strict formatting checks.
I added more customization to `rustfmt.toml`. This is to better emulate
the dense style used in the course:
- `max_width = 85` allows lines to take up the full width available in
our code blocks (when taking margins and the line numbers into account).
- `wrap_comments = true` ensures that we don't show very long comments
in the code examples. I edited some comments to shorten them and avoid
unnecessary line breaks — please trim other unnecessarily long comments
when you see them! Remember we're writing code for slides 😄
- `use_small_heuristics = "Max"` allows for things like struct literals
and if-statements to take up the full line width configured above.
The formatting settings apply to all our Rust code right now — I think
we could improve this with https://github.com/dprint/dprint/issues/711
which lets us add per-directory `dprint` configuration files. However,
the `inherit: true` setting is not yet implemented (as far as I can
tell), so a nested configuration file will have to copy most or all of
the top-level file.
* Align outline with new spin-off course structure
With the new structure, the section on Android is a spin-off course
from the main 3-day course on Rust Fundamentals. The Bare-metal and
Concurrency days are spin-off courses in the same way.
* Explain new course structure
* Align Bare-Metal welcome page with other deep dives
* Merge Day 4 page into Course Structure page
* Remove Day 4 Welcome page
This aligns the Concurrency in Rust section with the Bare-Metal Rust
deep dive.
* Show subsections for Android deep dive
This aligns the Rust in Android section with the other deep dives.
* Clean up welcome page and README
We now cover async Rust and the course is no longer a four day course.
* Remove reference to the old Day 4
* Remove Day 4 references from exercises
