Is Rust from spring 2014 remotely compatible with current Rust (since 1.0--and the stability commitments--were in May 15)?

Not at all. Pretty much all the code samples won't compile. We still had a runtime at that point. Lots of stuff is very different.

It is, remotely.

That setup is great, that's all on github? Is there a How-To around that I could follow to put something like that together?

https://pages.github.com/

They probably should have prepended the school name to their GitHub org, but that's just my 2 cents :)

Why does the first page for the intro lecture slides say Intro to Cobol and then two pages later, Intro to Rust? Are they trying to troll?

Not all jokes are trolls.

Down boy. I meant trolling in a joking way.

Maybe to illustrate the difference between programming for pay and programming for fun that many students might eventually experience. They use an extreme example to scare away those who aren't committed enough. ;)
