With the recent release of new OpenAI services on Azure, the potential for building innovative applications has never been greater. I think it’s time explore the amazing capabilities of ChatGPT and how we can harness them…… Continue reading Event – 🧠 OpenAI, ChatGPT and #PowerPlatform … Yes, and without coding !
#Rust 🦀 – Working with hashmaps is cool. And a little C# experience 😄
Hi ! During today’s Rust lession in the “First Steps with Rust” (in Spanish), we reviewed the Hashmaps in Rust. We talk about the behavior when we access a non existing item, and it was nice to get a NONE return instead of an error or an exception. In example this code: use std::collections::HashMap; fn…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀 – Working with hashmaps is cool. And a little C# experience 😄
#Rust 🦀 – Working with arrays, vectors and println! macro in Debug mode 🐛
Hi ! It’s time to learn a little about arrays and vectors. And sure, using println! is a great way to check how this elements works. However, there is a little something extra to learn here. Let me start with a simple scenario. Defining a vector with weekdays, and print the content. Something like this…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀 – Working with arrays, vectors and println! macro in Debug mode 🐛
#Rust 🦀 – 🧵 String Interpolation in Rust (as usual, super fun 😄)
Hi ! Working with string is always a nice topic to learn. It’s nice to understand how a specific language process strings, sometimes small changes can have big performance improvements ! String Interpolation So let’s start (via Wikipedia) with some basic concepts. In computer programming, string interpolation (or variable interpolation, variable substitution, or variable expansion)…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀 – 🧵 String Interpolation in Rust (as usual, super fun 😄)
#Rust 🦀 – Time for Ferris says ! 😋
Hi ! Ferris the crab, is the unofficial mascot for Rust. If you want to create a cool console app with Ferris holding a banner with a custom message, there is a super cool library that may help. We need to search in the Rust community’s crate registry for ferris-says, and there it is ferris-says:…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀 – Time for Ferris says ! 😋
#Rust 🦀 – Let’s create a Generic log() Function👍
Hi ! Let’s create a generic log function. This will not make a lot of sense, since the println! function already support lots of data types. However, this is a nice way to understand how generics works. Here is the log function. use std::fmt::Display; // Generic Function to print data to the console fn console_log<T:…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀 – Let’s create a Generic log() Function👍
#Rust 🦀 – Working with Generics and Types 👍
Hi ! I first used Generics back in the old C# days. It’s a super cool feature. Let’s ask ChatGPT for a definition: Generics in programming are a way to create classes and methods that work with multiple data types. They allow the programmer to define type parameters, which can be passed as arguments to…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀 – Working with Generics and Types 👍
#Rust 🦀 – Accesing external vars in threads 🧵
Hi ! In order to access external variables in a thread, we must use the move closure with the move keyword in the thread creation. In example, these 2 lines will define and create a mutable variable and then a new thread where we can access the var. let mut new_var = “hey!”; let handle…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀 – Accesing external vars in threads 🧵
#Rust 🦀 – Working with threads 🧵 and joining thread handles
Hi ! Let’s take a look at the following code. The main thread will run a loop for ~5 seconds, displaying a message every 1 second. The 2nd thread with display a message, wait 5 seconds and display a 2nd message. https://gist.github.com/elbruno/5b116361ed0a9931b52ae59f678e2516 The code output shows that the app is closed before finishing the execution…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀 – Working with threads 🧵 and joining thread handles
#Rust 🦀- Working with threads 🧵 (concurrency)
Hi ! Working with threads is usually an interesting (challenging) task, when we program in low level languages. I love how easy is to do this in C# or Python, however, multi-threading in C++ is … a super fun moment. So, the idea behind this is to have sections of code in our application runing…… Continue reading #Rust 🦀- Working with threads 🧵 (concurrency)
