Day 33
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at August 16, 2017 20:57 UTC
Janitor worked for some time and then again it failed.
In those time we are able to get the access to Neha's remote.
So many things have changed today on parse srcset algorithm.

Things we learned while updating the code for a srcset algorithm is:
* loop { } : Rust provides a loop keyword to indicate an infinite loop. The break statement can be used to exit a loop at any time, whereas the continue statement can be used to skip the rest of the iteration and start a new one.
* Bindings: You can bind values to names with @. Let's see an example to understand it properly.

let x = 1;
match x {
e @ 1 => println!("Value: {}", e),
_ => println!("anything"),
}

This will print Value: 1

Day 31 & Day 32
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at August 16, 2017 20:35 UTC
Things were not working properly.
Janitor stopped working on Friday eve(Day 30).
After janitor stopped working we are not able to access our remote and we can not even see our branches. Everything is stopped because of this.
We had a talk with people who are working closely with the janitor and they are working on resolving this issue.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAKHI :)
So today is her birthday and she is sick. (Get well soon dear)

Rakhi is on complete rest today and we will soon have a small birthday party.
While going through the srcset algorithm we figured out something wrong.
Things are changed in the code but still lot of work is left.

Day 29
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at August 11, 2017 11:04 UTC
Hello, everyone!

While going through test cases of srcset. Test cases started failing :/
Going through each and every step of an algorithm to check where our code is wrong.

Rakhi is suffering from the viral fever so she is having rest.

August 08, 2017

Day 27 & Day 28
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at August 8, 2017 19:05 UTC
So many learning is going on while writing test cases.

A new thing that we learned is:
PartialEq -> It is a trait for equality comparisons.
This trait can be used with #[derive]. When derived on structs, two instances are equal if all fields are equal, and not equal if any fields are not equal. When derived on enums, each variant is equal to itself and not equal to the other variants.
It has two methods :
1. fn eq(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool
This method tests for "=="
2. fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool
This method tests for "!="

Day 26
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at August 8, 2017 18:52 UTC
It's a regular day for us today as well.

We got to know about so many things about servo while testing our code.
For example:
If you run this --> ./mach test-tidy
This is a source code tidiness check. And it is a good idea to run this test before submitting PR.

Had a regular discussion with our mentor and coaches.

August 04, 2017

Day 24 & Day 25
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at August 4, 2017 15:41 UTC

July 24, 2017

Day 15, weekend & day 16
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 24, 2017 18:05 UTC
Day15:
* Big day! We were able to send our first PR of parsing sizes. That is the first step towards our contribution to the project.
Weekend(Saturday):
* Met one of our coach Rahul Sharma.
* Cleared our doubts about rust language, servo and testing! Also, we had Pizza. Yummy.

July 20, 2017

Day 14
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 20, 2017 18:27 UTC
Things we learned:
* try: try execute the closure, passing it to the parser.
fn try(&mut self, thing: F) -> Result
where F: FnOnce(&mut Parser<'i, 't>) -> Result
- ParserContext: The data that the parser needs from outside in order to parse a stylesheet.
- Made progress on parse size algorithm.

July 18, 2017

Day 12 & Day 13 (When we decide to TOSS a COIN)
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 18, 2017 22:16 UTC
What we did:
We are very serious about sending our first PR now. We both were stuck with errors. Today we decided to finish one of the issue first. And that was fun how we decided which issue we gonna work on first, we both are working on different issue, so we both wanted to resolve our own issue first. Finally, we decided to TOSS a COIN and guess what? I won ((issue number #10989 won) that was funny and interesting :P
So now we are working on Sizes issue (#10989).
Today was pretty good as we were able to resolve lot of errors (from 11 to 5 now). Hope fully we will send our PR by the end of this week.

July 17, 2017

Day 10 & Day 11
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 17, 2017 20:58 UTC
Last weekend we had the meetup with the local rust community members.
In the meetup, we learned about references and borrowing. We will cover these topic breifly in coming blogs.
It was the great time spending with Rust community people and we also met one of our coach who introduced us to this community.

Things we learned:
* Iterator and Enumerator:
fn main () {
Let foo = vec![1, 3, 7, 9, 12, 25, 27];
for (i, item) in foo.iter().enumerate() {
println!("the { }th item is { }", i+1, item);
}
}
Output:
the 1th item is 1
the 2th item is 3
the 3th item is 7
so on...

Iterator: It gives us a sequence of things.
Enumerator: Creates an iterator which gives iteration count as well as the next value.

Generic Data Type : It is more flexible, provide more functionality and remove code duplication.

Generic function -->
fn foo(list:&[T]) ->T

Here T : Type parameter
The function foo is generic over some type T. It has one parameter named list and type of list is a slice of values of type T
The foo function will return a value of the same type T.

July 13, 2017

Day 8 & Day9
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 13, 2017 18:09 UTC
Things we did:
* Understanding specification became hard for us. Coaches helped us in understanding that thing.
Follow this guide --> https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#how-to-read-this-specification
* As Rust is new for us, we are implementing a small program and learning it.
* This weekend we are invited to a meetup in Rust community Bangalore. There we will discuss our doubt and we are going to meet our coach also.

July 11, 2017

Day 7
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 11, 2017 18:27 UTC
Hey!

Things we did:
* On the way of srcset algorithm and facing so many challenges.
* Asked our queries on IRC and discussed things with Mentor and coaches.
* Had a 2nd-week meeting with our supervisor Vaishali.
* Parallelly started working on parsing sizes algorithm.

July 10, 2017

Day 6
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 10, 2017 18:16 UTC
Hello everyone!

We started making change in our code. Started writing parsing algorithm https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/images.html#parsing-a-srcset-attribute
Things we learned:
* enum: It represents data than could be one of the several possible variants.
* use: This declaration can be used so manual scoping isn't needed.
* match: It replaces complicated if/else or it can also be used as C switch.
* match n {
Some(v) =>
None =>
}
Some and None: When given index is valid, it returns Some with the element under that index, otherwise it returns None.

*tuple: tuple is a overloaded list of fixed size.

Day 5
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 7, 2017 16:39 UTC
Hey, Folks!

*Had a conversation with the mentor on IRC and cleared our doubt related to rust.
*Gone through the DOM API testing.
*Made a progress on parsing algorithm.

Rust is new for us so things we learned during scrset parsing algorithm is:
* Learned the role of getter setter.
* Learned to take input, declared the function and how it returns the value.
* Learned to allocate vector.

We would like to thank jeenalee and malisa (previous year RGSoC Intern) who really made good blog on DOM API.

July 06, 2017

Day 4

Finally had a kick-off call with supervisor, coaches and mentor. There were some confusion, we cleared that confusion during call and guess what everything is fine now.
Had a discussion with coach about project and creating a #rgsoc17 channel on IRC were we gonna discuss everything.
Gone through some documentation about testing in rust and servo.

TODO:
Remember to write logs everyday. We forget to write this on our second day, got an email from Robot then we realize.
Write functions for srcset attribute.
Write test cases for each function, we write.

July 02, 2017

Kick Start of RGSoC
Team Serv0101 (Servo) — at July 2, 2017 10:07 UTC
Hello, everyone :)
New city, another new day and a fresh start. Last 2 week was busy for both of us. We recently completed our graduation and moved to Bangalore, India to start our Internship.
Officially work will start from tomorrow because it's weekend and we are ready with everything.
Our project is Servo, a modern high-performance browser engine written in Rust. This summer our goal is to support responsive image in project Servo.
We talked to our mentor, coaches, supervisor and planned a call in coming week with all the team members.
