Program

Our next meetup will be all around testing. You can enjoy some drinks, meet nice people and collaboratively solve simple programming problems in rust.

All you need is:

• some programming skills
• interest in pair programming
• if possible: your own notebook with Rust and your favourite editor (because shortcuts, keyboard layouts etc. can differ a lot)
• and since this is a social event (not a competition): good manners as in the Rust Code of Conduct ;-)

Detailed Schedule

• Introducing everyone
• Short talk about testing in Rust
• Forming pairs & Assigning problems
• Round 1 (pairs): Writing test cases for the problem
• Presentation of test cases to the group for feedback on clarity
• (Optional: Switch problems between pairs, to make it more interesting)
• Round 2 (pairs): Writing implementations, which satisfy the tests
• Presentation and discussion of results

Other

• We will try to select easy problems, supposed to be solvable in roughly 15-30 minutes by novices with only basic Rust experience.
• Some experienced Rust programmers will act as mentors during the two pair programming rounds. These mentors will not participate in pairs themselves, but answer questions and provide tips.
• If you like to join this meetup, please let us know at meetup.com. We are looking forward to see you. :-)
• The meetup will likely be held in German, we will however reevaluate this at the meetup and may switch to English if needed.
