7003 :: Nim videos and tutorials survey

• Niminem (orginal) [2020-10-28T22:16:02+01:00] view original

  Hey guys,

  I've got some free time I can allocate to making YouTube videos for anything Nim.

  What are some things you'd like to see videos/tutorials on?

  I've got generics, templates, macros high on the priority list. What else?

  Multithreading and async, tcp/http servers, karax

  +1 for Karax.

  Teach us with real example such as building simple software which would do something practical : https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/6964#43615

  I think generics/templates/macros are good topics for some extended treatment by videos. These topics need much more of a stepwise and gentle introduction than the official docu can give room for.

  Practical tiny tips for templates/macros may be helpful for a novice like me. On top of that, I vote for @sky_khan.

  Perfect. Else is using GUI frameworks. Btw does Nim have macros in the style of the C Preprocessor?

  Nim macros operate on Abstract Syntax Tree level and are integrated into the language, unlike C pre processor which is just replacing text. They are much more powerful - you can generate code, modify the AST tree directly, change how Nim behaves, etc.

  See: https://nim-lang.org/docs/tut3.html, https://dev.to/beef331/demystification-of-macros-in-nim-13n8

  I would like to see generics, templates, macros as OP mentioned, maybe async with ORC or development for embedded devices with ORC.

  Appreciate all the feedback guys. I'll make the YT channel tonight and drop the link here.

  Will be starting with Macros because they're fun as hell ; )

  Can't wait! Greatly appreciated!

  I see the difference. Does Nim have those #defines as well?

  Can I suggest:

  • Wrapping C libraries
  • Gtk
  • OpenGL
