Do you want to know what all the buzz around Rust is about? Do you want to learn the fundamentals of a modern systems language? Or has Rust been on your "want to try" list for too long and you just need an excuse?
If any of these motivations apply to you, then this workshop should be right up your alley!
The Rust programming language promises so many things, it seems too good to be true: Performance rivaling C, memory safety without any runtime penalties, concurrency without data races. How does it achieve all these things?
I'll give you a tour of how Rust works, its strengths and weaknesses, what people use it for, and why I personally fell in love with it. After some initial information though, you will start experimenting with simple, focused coding exercises. I'll be helping you with any questions you might have.
After lunch you can try your hand at a small project I've prepared or you can bring your own project ideas to life.
