teach-rs VS tauri

Rust 101 is pretty good as well. The more the merrier!

Unluckily the English version of the course used C++, only the Italian version was in Rust. However, online you can find a bunch of other valid alternatives, such as https://github.com/tweedegolf/101-rs

How cool! I'm currently running a Rust course as well. It's open source: tweedegolf/101-rs (I guess everyone thinks Rust 101 is a good name ;) ). It's currently a bit early days, but after running the course once, I'll work on making the material reusable.

As part of the Rust 101 Course that is being made to facilitate universities in teaching Rust, I am researching what would be needed to have a module that would introduce people to the basics of programming at the same time as learning Rust syntax. Rust is not a mature language when it comes to teaching it as a first language, and therefore not much material exists in this area. Therefore, I wanted to see if any people are learning / have learned Rust as their first language. Or whether there are Rustaceans coming from the high-level untyped programming world, who would like to share some experience when it comes to learning Rust.

I'm very happy to share that I've received a grant from the Rust Foundation to work on Rust 101: a modular, reusable university course introducing the Rust programming language. It's still early days, but be sure to have a look at our GitHub repo and let me know what you think!

Hi, dear Tauri! Long time no see. I published my first post, Developing a Desktop Application via Rust and NextJS. The Tauri Way almost a year ago. Since then, Tauri has become stronger. I'm happy about that! And now, I am very pleased to make a useful contribution to the Tauri community. As a full-stack developer, I frequently face situations where I need to start a DB-based UI project as fast as possible. It's stressful if I need to start the project from 100% scratch. I prefer to keep some boilerplates on hand, which will save me time and nerves and will be the subject of this article.

Hey Thanks!

Just electron & vite. I might actually migrate off electron, Tauri (https://tauri.app/) seems to be getting more stable and it's gotten great reviews.

I think this is the boilerplate I used though https://github.com/cawa-93/vite-electron-builder.

Well the great thing about WebAssembly is that you can port QT or anything else to be at a layer below -- thanks to WebAssembly Interface Types[0] and the Component Model specification that works underneath that.

To over-simplify, the Component Model manages language interop, and WIT constrains the boundaries with interfaces.

IMO the problem here is defining a 90% solution for most window, tab, button, etc management, then building embeddings in QT, Flutter/Skia, and other lower level engines. Getting a good cross-platform way of doing data passing, triggering re-renders, serializing window state is probably the meat of the interesting work.

On top of that, you really need great UX. This is normally where projects fall short -- why should I use this solution instead of something like Tauri[2] which is excellent or Electron?

Welcome to the 2nd episode of our series “Building with Tauri”, where we chat with developers who build amazing projects and products using Tauri.

Tauri seemed like the "thing" I should switch to because everybody loves Rust (heh), and because it ships significantly smaller apps.

First of all, I will be using npm as my package manager but feel free to use whatever you prefer. Find more info here.

Today I'm talking about Tauri! Do you know all the various tools that allow you to develop native applications starting from web languages? They often need an intermediate compilation, in the middle of which you end up encountering various problems not always transparent and directly solvable with a language mostly detached from native development. On the other hand, there's still the ease of developing attractive and easily usable interfaces, which are more difficult to develop with low level languages.
