Rust First Steps - Jayshua Nelson
2020 Central Wisconsin IT Conference https://cwitc.org Rust First Steps - Jayshua Nelson Rust has been gaining popularity as a language for everything from low-level operating system development to web application development with Web Assembly. It's a language with automatic-memory management but no garbage collector, direct memory access but no segmentation faults, and the ability to detect and prevent certain types of race conditions at compile time. This talk will be an up-and-running introduction to Rust. We'll start with a rapid overview of the tools, compile and run a simple Rust program, and discuss the most unique part of the language, lifetimes and the borrow-checker, which enable all of those cool features everyone talks about. By the end you should have a firm grasp of the terms and names you need to google to actually learn Rust. (What, you didn't expect to learn an entire language in 50 minutes did you?)
