San Diego Rust #22 - 2016-12-08

Come Join us downtown for food and fun while we continue learning Rust. We'll divide into teams and work together to solve a team programming challenge! San Diego Rust meets the second Thursday of every month.

Free pizza and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) provided by güdTECH.

Parking:

Street parking on 6th, 7th & 8th Avenues north of B Street is usually easy at that hour.

Meters are free after 6. Be wary of signage if you park on A street.

Meeting Prep:

Bringing a laptop with the Rust compiler already installed (https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/downloads.html) is highly recommended. If you don't have a laptop, no worries, we usually share a screen on projectors/TVs in the meeting space so everyone in a group can watch as the meeting exercise comes together. We often work sample Rust programs from Exercism (http://www.exercism.io/), so having that installed as well can save you some time come meeting day. Find out more about Rust on Exercism at http://exercism.io/languages/rust/about .

Meeting Agenda:

1. Eat & Greet
2. Possible Lightning talk by Xavier
3. Split into teams and commence a collaborative coding exercise. Parsing image files (similar to https://mht.technology/post/jpeg-rust-2/ ), or working an Advent code challenge from http://adventofcode.com/2016 have been mentioned as possible coding exercise candidates in the group chat (below)
