New Syllabus

Day 1, Session 1

• [x] Slides: Method Syntax #26
• Exercise: Shapes I - adding methods to structs

• [x] Slides: Using macros, e.g. to derive traits #25
  • Also, why is println! a macro?
• Exercise: Errors in SimpleDB - using thiserror to make more beautiful Errors in SimpleDB

Day 1, Session 3

• [x] Slides: Defining and Implementing Traits #27
• Exercise: Shapes II - defining a 'HasArea' trait (or similar) and implementing it for your types

The motivating example is "I want to filter my collection for values larger than X, where X is something I choose at run-time", and observing that passing in a function for the '.filter()' method won't let you pass in X. But a closure lets you capture X.
