@OpenTalkMeeting published two new releases. No big changes, just small incremental improvements this time.

New release 24.2.0 with some new features and some preparation in the backend for upcoming features:
https://docs.opentalk.eu/releases/releases/24.2.0/

Bugfix release 24.1.1 that should have been published soon after 24.1.0, but took a little longer than expected:

Finally decided to learn rust... Any tips or warnings before I really start?

#rust #rustlang #rustaceans #programming

Hm...I'm getting the impression that #Rust is increasingly met with a refusal by some people (it's an almost _hateful_ attitude sometimes).

I wonder why. Of course there are a lot of layers to it, but one is definitely that Rust has gotten a lot more exposure to people and so there are just a lot more potential `match`es that lead to Err(()) and that's Ok(()) (sorry, pun intended).

But I wonder, if there's more to it than what meets the eye (feeling excluded/alienated/left behind?).

#RustLang

Day 36 of #100DaysOfRust

Oh well, now I've moved on from "Hello, world!" in #development with #Rust to a simple form #web page. In that sense I've learned a lot, although very slowly, because I'm not mentally fit today. I still learn a lot every time I do the #RustLang. Well, then I'll configure the #Helix editor first so that I like it and it's easy for me to use 🧬🦀

Day 35 of #100DaysOfRust

Today I didn't make as much progress as I would have liked in learning #Rust. I was recommended to change the #web framework (see comments from Toot above), I followed the tip! So I only have a rudimentary understanding of #RustLang, I had to read up on it, whether it was me or not I don't know - thanks a lot @mo8it for your help! I have at least typed "Hello, world!" and run it correctly. Albeit slowly, but progress is being made🦀

#100daysofcode #code #learning #learn

Day 34 of #100DaysOfRust

Wow, today I finished the #Rust basic course and immediately started with the first lesson on #ActixWeb and programmed "Hello world!" & "Hey there!". I was immediately very #motivated and will continue accordingly. But the first thing I'm thinking about is what the interactive #website should be. Because only with one goal is the motivation to learn #RustLang available ⚙️🦀

#100daysofcode #code #learning #learn

Day 33 of #100DaysOfRust

I continued learning #Rust today and am almost at the end of the basic course. It's "tedious" for me now because I don't really understand it yet. That means I'll have to look at a lot of things again in the future to deepen my #knowledge. On the other hand, it is fun to #program a web server to learn the program #procedure more directly. But I knew from the start that you don't learn #RustLang in a hurry 🦀

#100daysofcode #code #learning #learn

Day 31 && 32 of #100DaysOfRust

Yesterday I was only able to learn a little more, but I finished a chapter. Today I finished a chapter in which I set up a very simple #web server using #Rust. It's really exciting and I was able to deepen my knowledge of #RustLang. It's really fun and #motivated me. Of course, learning is not finished after the basic course, but it prepares you to learn in practice and expand your knowledge 🦀

#100daysofcode #code #learning #learn

Day 30 of #100DaysOfRust

I'm getting closer to complete basic #Rust learning and it's getting more difficult for me. Well, I was also told that 'traits' is a strange thing that you don't always have to use. It's good that I know about it, but if I really use it then I'll probably have to read up again. The other side for 'advanced types' and I'm not kidding myself about that. I only really learn it after when I use #RustLang, not just when I'm learning 🦀

#100daysofcode #code #learning #learn

Day 29 of #100DaysOfRust

I have now returned to learning #Rust in addition to the workload between the #holiday's. Today I learned how to integrate C solutions, for example, via an '#Unsafe Rust'. I hope not to have to use it in the future or even use libraries that need it - the #future will tell. But still, it's good to have this #knowledge, for use or for criticism. I certainly don't have the #RustLang learning foundation behind me before the end of this year 🦀

#100daysofcode #code #learn

Day 28 of #100DaysOfRust

I didn't learn _ but their use as well as _meaning and what @ does what where. I worked on this chapter for a relatively long time, but in my opinion it was a profound #Rust specialty that allowed me to use it in a targeted manner. Slowly but surely I'm coming to the end of learning the basics of #RustLang, I'll learn how to use it in the next selected project. But first complete the current basic learning! 🦀

Day 27 of #100DaysOfRust

Yesterday I took a break from learning #Rust. Today I continued learning #RustLang in the morning. Then I did the #37c3 watched some interesting shows #online. Now doing the two things in parallel is almost impossible for me, so I'm getting to the end of the introductory course a little slower. That's OK for me, both are very lively. Tomorrow will be similar 😃🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #code #learn

Day 26 of #100DaysOfRust

I found time today to continue learning #Rust. Although I knew that #RustLang is not fundamentally object-oriented (#OOP), I learned this approach today. It seemed a bit strange to me and I didn't quite understand it. Maybe you should go over that paragraph again. Basically, I know that for future projects, I need to look back and see how I solve the problem. That's the case in any #programming language to solidify your skills 🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #code #learn

Day 25 of #100DaysOfRust

I was celebrating with my family before #Christmas (yes, it's already here today) and I was still learning #Rust. Two things were illuminating for me: The capitalization is relevant, I knew it before but I really had to find it before I went through the corresponding tests. Secondly, I learned 'traid objects', a cool way of working. I got further than expected and learned on #RustLang what I can use for the next project 🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #code #programming

Day 24 of #100DaysOfRust

Today I made exciting progress in learning how to program #Rust. How to deal with data when you have to / should edit and change / adapt several at once. That was really fun and I tried out a little more than just the given code. Tomorrow I'll continue and maybe take a break to learn #RustLang because of the holidays 🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #code #data #programming

Day 23 of #100DaysOfRust

Phew... I'm 3/4 of the way through the basic course at #Rust. It's taking me longer than I thought but it's not too bad. I also realize that after the basics, the learning really begins in a project. For the subsequent #RustLang project, I've already given it some thought. So far it's going well and I've decided to learn all the basics before I start a project 🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #code

Day 20 && 21 && 22 of #100DaysOfRust

The day before yesterday, yesterday and today I worked more to learn on the #Rust basics. I found it more difficult because I am not yet familiar with it. But I'll see how I implement this in the project. In my planned project, I will really learn what to use where and how exactly. Only then will I really learn the #RustLang practice 🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #code

Day 19 of #100DaysOfRust

Today I learned more about #Cargo and better understood how to use it in my project. I also had another look around on https://crates.io to see what was available that I was interested in.
I'm already relatively far along in my learning #Rust but certainly not finished yet. I think I should first learn the #RustLang basics completely, then start a project and then keep checking back. It's definitely not boring for me! 🦀

Day 18 of #100DaysOfRust

What I didn't quite understand yesterday, I realized today why this exists. Put simply, this is just a function that is only used at one logic point and is a nameless function. Even as I delve deeper and deeper into the subject of #Rust, the more I see that it is only through a real project that we really #learn how to handle and use it 🦀

Day 17 of #100DaysOfRust

Today I had learned more #Rust in detail again but had difficulties understanding certain things in detail. Well, there is that and I may have to repeat it again. Despite everything, I am positive about it. I now have about half of the basic learning behind me, but I will only see it efficiently when I start my first #project. Only then will I really be able to learn #RustLang in practice. That's life and knowledge, not smart aleckery 🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #code

Day 16 of #100DaysOfRust

I got further with learning #RustLang today, but not as far as I would have liked. So that I really understand the reason for the #Rust code, I took the time to understand it completely. It was still positive for me to combine all the details I've learned so far and create something working. At least mentally it was a success. Not just an action that can do something, but a program with its own tests 🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #code #understanding #like #programming

[…] What I like about it is that everything is explained step by step in detail with the logic behind it. It's really #fun and I'm really #learning more and more. At the same time, I'm already looking at which libraries I could use in the future 🦀 2/2

#100daysofcode #rust #rustlang #learn #100daysofrust

Day 15 of #100DaysOfRust

Yesterday I was unfortunately unable to continue learning #Rust due to my schedule, but today I was able to do so all the more. Today I got through the #RustLang training very comfortably. All the #code tools I #learn'ed earlier were used together in the chapter and at the end they were neatly divided into files. It is getting closer and closer to the development of real programs. […] 1/2

#100daysofcode #learning #fun

Day 14 of #100DaysOfRust

First of all, I didn't make as much progress today as I would like, but that's normal and shouldn't be criticized, because learning is progressing.

Before, I had only learned basics and code was generally short. Now I'm in the middle of learning a similar example, but it's a whole program. This is fun and shows me how the code methods are connected together 🦀

Day 13 of #100DaysOfRust

Today monday and I came to the topic of writing tests while continuing to learn #Rust. Of course there are also #tests in the programming languages ​​that I already use, but they are often skipped for the so-called unpaid time. I learn more every day and that everything in the basic course is important. I would say it's harder for me because it's more extensive and deeper - I like #RustLang 🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #learn #code

Day 12 of #100DaysOfRust

Yesterday I met old friends (see my timeline), today I'm continuing to learn #RustLang. A lot of structural theory and how long and where its validity is retained. As a web "script" coder, it's a very new world that's exciting to discover. #Rust certainly has its own peculiarities, which I find very exciting and which make absolute sense ☺️🦀

#100daysofcode #learning #learn #code

A while back I posted to announce we were enabling the use of #rust as a development language within @thunderbird

Pleased to say that we've now landed support, and as of today it's possible to write new libraries and xpcom components using #rustlang, as part of the libxul build!
