Clarified first slices paragraph #3363
Conversation
Noticed the slice definition in the first paragraph relies on the reader recalling: * what collections are * that the reference page ended stating slices are a kind of reference I think the first paragraph should be more clear to someone who lands on it and isn't reading the rest of the documentation ATM.

Thanks for the suggestion! I liked the idea of linking forward to the docs on collections in case someone wants to jump forward that way. However, this is a book where each section broadly assumes the reader has gone through the previous chapters (it is not a reference manual) so I don’t think we need to make the other changes here. I incorporated your suggestion of a link, though, and will commit that and merge it. Thanks!
Remove the additional, extraneous info from the Ch. 4. section 3 intro.
@chriskrycho Understandable, thanks for the update! |
