Duke University's: RUST Fundamentals on Coursera

-
I recently started Duke University's Rust Fundamentals course on Coursera.  The course lasts 4 weeks and covers several topics. It is taught by Noah Gift who has several classes on the Coursera that I am interested in taking over the next year. The classes that I am particularly interested in are those related to Python, Rust, and Linux . Yesterday, I encountered problems installing Rust on Linux (Ubuntu).  The problems were related to the following code:      curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh As I needed to install curl, I ran the following command:      sudo snap install curl This led to several errors. After much searching on the internet, I discovered that I needed to stall curl without using snap. Instead, I installed curl using:     sudo apt install curl. After this, I was successfully able to install Rust.

2023 WDB: Update

  I haven't been working on the Web Development Bootcamp (WDB) over the last few days because I have been working on my crypto project. I have tried to integrate Recurrent Neural Networks to predict crypto prices. I decided to go back to the WDB today.  Upon logging into the course, I found that the instructor (Angela) has updated all the course content.  This means that I should go back and review the content to see what has been added, changed, and deleted.  I believe that the (tindog) project is still the same but I did notice that the video style and content are different.  I think that this is good because in the previous videos, Angela discussed using VS Code as an IDE but her videos still showed the Atom ide.

The Bootstrap challenge required us to use Font Awesome and Bootstrap's containers to add icons and make the layout more responsive.  Incorporating Bootstrap's containers was easy. The problems came with Font Awesome... Before I begin here is what I was able to do with Font Awesome and containers: Here is the code for this section:   < section id = "features" >     < br >     < br >     < div class = "row" >         < div class = "col-lg-4" >           < i class = "fa-sharp fa-solid fa-circle-check fa-2xl awesome" ></ i >           < h3 > Easy to use. </ h3 >           < p > So easy to use, even your dog could do it. </ p >         </ div >               < div class = "col-lg-4" >          ...
