Beginner Rust Open "Office Hours"

Need some help with a Rust project? Have questions about the fundamentals of the language? Come ask in our office hours!
We can't guarantee someone will know the answer, but we will at least try to get to one with you.
Experienced Rust users welcome as well! Share your knowledge or just hang out.

Good topics include:

• Working with the borrow checker
• Managing lifetimes
• Using traits & trait bounds
• Working with generics
• Dynamic dispatch/trait objects
• Working with iterators
• Concurrency
• Anything else about safe Rust (see exceptions below)

What is not a good fit for this format:

• Crate- or project-specific implementation questions (unless they are generalizable to common problems)
• Unsafe Rust or other complex parts of the language (like things found in the Rustonomicon)

Some tips on bringing a topic:

• Please be able to summarize the problem or topic you'd like help with in a sentence or two. We'll ask for this up front.
• If you can bring a reproduceable example, please do so.
• We can be most helpful if you've narrowed down the problem or topic you'd like help with as much as possible. This could be "I tried, x, y, and z, and this is what I got" or "I don't understand how concept x and concept y work together". Questions like "how do types work in Rust" are hard to answer, and you likely won't benefit much from the response (something like "how does Rust handle types compared to java" is a bit better).

These will be on the last Friday of each month and will be online.
