About Rust Track

Table 1. - Current Status (06/28/2025)

ItemDescriptionIssues
Rust Explorer Functionally complete, no known bugs Firefox reloads to current page. Chrome reloads to site home page.
Rust Track Summary Functionally complete with appropriate discussions Need to move exercises to another page
Stories
  • Rust story needs text trimming for simplicity
 Story has two styles for displaying code.
Bites
  • Rust bites are still being ported from old site
  • Old site had a fairly complete set of bites with only a few placeholders
None
Repositories
  • Rust Repo page is relatively complete but needs updated code and documentation links
  • Many code repositories on github have only placeholder documentation.
  • The old site provided doc pages for that, but this NewSite will put the documentation exclusively in each github repository.

  • Help pages for VS Code, Rust Cargo, Git, powershell, RegEx, ChatGPT, and SiteNav are complete.
  • Help page for github is a placeholder awaiting contents
 None
Blogs

  • Plan to provide blogs:

    • Port some blogs from my SU site.
