We’re back for episode 3 of our second series! Last series we completed the number of islands problem, and failed at Conway’s game of life as we were learning too much cool #rustlang. This time we’re back to work on a new set of problems. You can catch the previous episodes on the Microsoft Reactor YouTube channel:    • Crack code interview problems with Rust   Interviews for coders often come with a coding challenge, using platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. These challenges ask you to solve coding problems in a language of your choice, to show what algorithms and data structures you know, and highlight how you solve problems …...more

Crack code interview problems in Rust: S2 Ep3
We’re back for episode 3 of our second series! Last series we completed the number of islands problem, and failed at Conway’s game of life as we were learning too much cool #rustlang. This time we’re back to work on a new set of problems. You can catch the previous episodes on the Microsoft Reactor YouTube channel:    • Crack code interview problems with Rust   Interviews for coders often come with a coding challenge, using platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. These challenges ask you to solve coding problems in a language of your choice, to show what algorithms and data structures you know, and highlight how you solve problems. Love them or hate them, being able to solve these kinds of challenges is becoming a part of interviewing for your next job. In this series, ‪@jimbobbennett‬ is joined by Nell Shamrell-Harrington, a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft and a member of the Rust board of directors. Our intrepid experts will try their hand at a range of coding challenges in Rust, a powerful systems programming language that is rising in popularity, and has been rated as the most loved programming language for the past 7 years in the StackOverflow survey. Jim is new to Rust, so will be learning a load of tips and techniques as he pairs with Nell to solve these challenges. In the last episode we finished our word search problem, with our 3 tests passing just as we ended the stream. In this episode we look at refactoring the code, then see if @GitHub #copilot is able to solve the same problem in a fraction of the time. We also talk rust, tech careers, interviews and more with our audience! 00:00 - Welcome! 00:40 - Introducing Nell, and This Week in Rust - https://this-week-in-rust.org/ 06:25 - Join the Rust Cloud Skills Challenge - https://aka.ms/RustS2CloudSkillsChall... 12:20 - TockOS - https://www.tockos.org/ 16:37 - Bacon!
