There's are pinned messages on https://threadiverse.link/c/learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml with details of both schedules.
You'll have to confirm with @Jayjader@jlai.lu, but I believe that your expectations are in line with their plan.
Awesome! This should really help people in Europe who want to follow along.
I think trying to catch up would be a mistake unless the people who join are already at pace with the original schedule.
Get started, make mistakes so you can learn. The best stack is the one you use to build things with. If you want to learn a new tool, use it. Otherwise, use what you're familiar with.
Sign in with Google/Facebook/etc. bypasses the problem that ActivityPub isn't all that popular (this may change with Threads but it's unclear how that will play out). But I also think you're overstating the hesitation most people have in creating an account for a service. Also, being a hobby project, it doesn't necessarily need to be or desired to be popular right away. It doesn't need to have all the features right away. It doesn't have to be built in one try or architected perfectly.
Just to be clear, I merely found these rooms and passed along the URLs. I don't have any more association with them beyond joining them.
I linked to free resources so you wouldn't have to buy the book, but I also bought a physical copy as I find it easier to regularly read a physical copy.
Have fun!
