List of potential ideas for exercises

[AnshulMalik]

Let's discuss here, what we can think of as interesting exercises with rust.

• Concept of mutable and non-mutable

You can take help from

• https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch01-00-introduction.html
• https://rust-lang-nursery.github.io/rust-cookbook/intro.html

Current Ideas:

• Print the arguments passed to the program

This list may look like the it's taking things from the links you provided and that may be true.

1. Basic
   • Hello World
   • Fibonacci / Factorial (both iterative and recursive ), helps with I/O (can use args), syntax for functions and different loops
   • Lucky 7 game ( a revised guessing game from the Rust book, useful to leach match syntax and using random crate
2. Some OOP style concepts using structs
3. String manipulation, uppercase, lowercase and maybe something like caesar cipher to help with String and &str
4. Echo HTTP server
5. File server / API endpoint
6. Multi-threading, (got nothing here..)
7. Start making some creates at this point.

These are my ideas on how a new Rust user can get themselves familiarized with the language.
What do you say ?

[AnshulMalik]

Sounds great! We can start looking for implementations, And I think @douglasduteil might have already started something ?

[Jay9596]

I would love to help with the implementation as well, please keep me in the loop about the progress and on how I can help.

[AnshulMalik]

Yep, will do, you can also drop https://gitter.im/workshopper/learnrust to chat

I'm just a Rust Noob trying to learn Rust by coding Learn Rust
@booyaa told me I could do it, so I'm trying ☺️

Last time I was practicing, I successfully build a directory of exercises to a cursive UI.

I'm struggling with having this little code built on multiple platforms I will have to look closer how rustup or cargo manage this

[AnshulMalik]

You are doing great @douglasduteil I'll soon start working on this once I find time :)
