Rust is an up-and-coming, safe and performant programming language with some very novel, funky features. Learn about Rust 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: 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 couple 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.
