Stories
  • No story yet for Basics.
  • Expect that won't happen for a while.
Basics have a lot of interesting things to discuss. They are all fundamentals that are important for many of the other tracks.
Bites
  • Basics bites are complete for now, more planned
  • Need to discuss differences between native and managed code with pros and cons.
None
Repositories
  • Basics has a placeholder page, but no repositories.
  • This is a good place to put "bits" code, e.g. small simple demonstrations in each of the languages: Rust, C++, C#, and Python for comparison (using the Viewer).
