Rust is an up-and-coming, safe and performant programming language with some very funky, novel features. In this workshop you'll learn about the Rust programming language and write your first simple Rust program. Suitable to anyone with basic programming knowledge, you don't have to be an expert.
This session will be about half presentation, half practical. Come with a laptop prepared to write some code. Please get Rust installed before the session, which is very quick easy to do on any platform via: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
I'm Mattsi, a software engineer / consultant / craftsman / tell-computers-what-to-do-guy. I have a personal tech blog over at www.matt.si
I'm a polygot and use a wide variety of tech in my day work. In my personal projects I've mostly been sticking to Rust for the past few years. I founded a Rust study group and have done some conference/meetup talks and workshops about the language too, including running a day-long Rust workshop at the UK's first Rust conference.
