📣 How AWS is building the Rust SDK and how you can use it today
by Zelda Hessler
17:40 (5:40pm CEST)

Last year, AWS launched a new SDK for Rust in developer preview, enabling customers developing in Rust to use the language constructs they are used to, and to provide customers new to Rust an SDK that behaves similarly to SDKs they have used in other language environments. Zelda, a member of the AWS Rust SDK team, will be giving a whirlwind tour of the AWS Rust SDK. In this talk, she’ll cover:

- How to use the SDK to make requests
- What’s actually happening when using the SDK to make requests
- How the AWS Rust SDK team generates SDKs for 300+ Services
- What to do if you’re interested in contributing to the SDK

The talk will then close with a Q&A.

📣 Constant Fun With Rust
Approx. 18:30 (6:30pm CEST)

Everybody knows constants from other programming languages. But as so often, Rust is different and knows a lot of tricks regarding constants that other languages don't. Rust's *const fn* recently got new features (v1.61), so we decided to do an overview session about consts and constant functions in Rust. This is a beginner-friendly session for people who are starting with Rust or haven't taken a deeper look into constants and *const fn* in Rust.
