About the talk
The talk is aimed at people making their first steps in Rust. You’ve read the Rust Book and maybe you have written a few lines of code by now. In this live coding session, we will be using a collection of Rustlings Exercises to go over core language elements. Coming to Rust from the JS/TS/Web Developer world, Philip will also comment on some of the language features from that perspective.
This talk will cover
- Quick overview of what Rust is and why people are excited about it
- Overview of language features we will be covering
- Code our way through Rustlings: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings
Web Development
