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.

Hello World!
Let us jump into the simplest possible Rust program, a classic Hello World program:
fn main() {
println!("Hello 🌍!");
}
What you see:
- Functions are introduced with
fn. - Blocks are delimited by curly braces like in C and C++.
- The
mainfunction is the entry point of the program. - Rust has hygienic macros,
println!is an example of this. - Rust strings are UTF-8 encoded and can contain any Unicode character.
This slide tries to make the students comfortable with Rust code. They will see a ton of it over the next four days so we start small with something familiar.
Key points:
-
Rust is very much like other languages in the C/C++/Java tradition. It is imperative (not functional) and it doesn't try to reinvent things unless absolutely necessary.
-
Rust is modern with full support for things like Unicode.
-
Rust uses macros for situations where you want to have a variable number of arguments (no function overloading).
