Rust By example Using the guide Hands-on practice
Contribution pathways.

Mr. Jayesh Katta, first of all, gave his own introduction and interacted with students by sharing his own experience. He then started the event by introducing some basic terminologies like system programming, stack and heap, concurrency and parallelism, compile time and runs time, type system garbage collector, mutability, cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence.

He explained common system programming errors like Buffer overflow and Segmentation Fault. He then told us why do we need a new system programming language? This programming Language contains features like State or art programming language and it Solves a lot of common system programming bugs it contains Cargo: RPM, we can improve out the toolkit and it is a self-learning language.

He asked some questions from the students and some students answered very well and get swags as a reward. Some Students raised their doubts and it was cleared by Jayesh.

He then explained about Rust and why should we use rust. He explained how to install rust and cargo on a different-different platform like Linux, Windows, and Mac.

He explained how programming is done in rust by creating a hello world program. Students also created the hello world program and some other complex programs. He then explained primitive types bool, char, size & other primitive types. He also explained tuples, arrays, and strings. Then we took a lunch break.

After lunch, we move forward and he shows some programs in rust language. He explained the basics of program development and students developed it on their computer.

Demo of basic A-Frame scenes.
Basic concepts of A-Frame.
A-Frame Concepts & implementation.

The event was started by the introduction speech, following with introduction of A-Frame and I also gave a look-up to attendees upon previously created ideas with A-Frame.

I, first of all, introduced myself and interacted with students by sharing my experience.I then started the event by introducing some basic stuff about WebVR like Mozilla and it’s mission of better and safe web, Mozilla’s initiative on making web more approachable, later also told them about MozActivate initiative and then, explained virtual reality, hardware compatible headsets and their technology, friction of VR ecosystem.

I also explained what is WebVR, and how amazing it’s development process and results could be by showing them some cool a-scenes stuff I developed before then, Explained A-Frame documentation and gave it’s website source which is (aframe.io), I requested attendees to have a view over A-Frame documentation but later explained it.

I then explained and showed them the basic example “ Hello World ” of A-Frame, which helped them to understand the basics of A-Frame development. Some Students raised there questions and it was good to see their dou bts and curiosity to know better and understand deeply the concepts and those doubts were cleared by me.

I then explained about languages we need with A-Frame.I explained then about entity component system, about a-painter, then about registry, and at last about community.Then, we had our first refreshment break which included Tea, cold-drinks and wafers (according to attendees), then we started our development process.

After Tea break now, attendees started coding and creating their ideas and imaginations. Few of the students were good with A-Frame development and were creating really good stuff, which includes 360 image and 360 video scenes which were great. Now it was the time for Lunch break and I asked attendees what they would like to have as a lunch meal, votes said to be a pizza and drinks party.

Now after lunch attendees again started coding what they were left before lunch and developers and students who were creating some good stuff were coding faster for completing their project, and it was good to see students collaborating which feels like a hackathon or an informative session.

As the session was just getting finished and there were just 30 minutes left, most of the developers had finished their development process and they were getting ready for submitting what they had created.

Now session concluded and I thanked all the attendees and developers who were coding and created great stuff. Finally, we had a group photograph and session closed.
