In this episode, we'll build a GUI app in Rust (`headlines`) to make use of the newsapi crate we built before. Headlines is a news reading app.
NOTE: Please follow this tutorial with eframe = "0.14.0" to have reproducible results.
Part A of this episode, is where we plan our UI, data model and scaffold our frontend UI using an immediate mode GUI library.
Later in part B (the next video) we'll make this thing come to
life by fetching data from newsapi.org. We'll learn about threads, channels and
how to manage asynchronous data in the context of an immediate mode GUI library.
EP7 Part B of this video: [ Ссылка ]
This is in continuation of exploratory style videos that am making on Rust. We'll start a new series after this, where we'll start with the language from the very basics.
For context on newsapi crate watch the last 3 videos in the channel.
This video wouldn't have been possible without the amazing people in
the Rust community building high quality libraries. So a big thanks!

This series is aimed at programmers who already have some experience with at
least one imperative language such as Python or C/C++, but are new to Rust.
What is Rust and why should you invest time in learning it?
Rust is the most loved programming language according to the Stack Overflow survey for 6th year in a row (2016-2021).
