This implements a system for speaker notes via `details` elements and some JavaScript. The general idea is 1. You add speaker notes to each page by wrapping some Markdown code in `<details> … </details>`. This is a standard HTML element for, well extra details. Browsers will render the element with a toggle control for showing/hiding the content. 2. We inject JavaScript on every page which finds these speaker note elements. They’re styled slightly and we keep their open/closed state in a browser local storage. This ensures that you can keep them open/closed across page loads. 3. We add a link to the speaker notes which will open in a new tab. The URL is amended with `#speaker-notes-open`, which we detect in the new tab: we hide the other content in this case. Simultaneously, we hide the speaker notes in the original window. 4. When navigating to a new page, we signal this to the other window. We then navigate to the same page. The logic above kicks in and hides the right part of the content. This lets the users page through the course using either the regular window or the speaker notes — the result is the same and both windows stay in sync. Tested in both Chrome and Firefox. When using a popup speaker note window, the content loads more smoothly in Chrome, but it still works fine in Firefox. Fixes #53.
Comprehensive Rust 🦀
This repository has the source code for Comprehensive Rust 🦀, a four day Rust course developed by the Android team. The course covers all aspects of Rust, from basic syntax to generics and error handling. It also includes Android-specific content on the last day.
Read the course at https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/.
Course Format and Target Audience
The course is used internally at Google when teaching Rust to experienced software engineers. They typically have a background in C++ or Java.
The course is taught in a classroom setting and we hope it will be useful for others who want to teach Rust to their team. The course will be less useful for self-study since you miss out on the discussions happening in the classroom. You don't see the questions and answers and you don't see the compiler errors we trigger when going through the code samples. We hope to improve on this via speaker notes and by publishing videos.
Building
The course is built using mdBook and its Svgbob plugin. Install both tools with
$ cargo install mdbook
$ cargo install mdbook-svgbob
Then run
$ mdbook test
to test all included Rust snippets. Run
$ mdbook serve
to start a web server with the course. You'll find the content on
http://localhost:3000. You can use mdbook build to create a static version
of the course in the book/ directory.
