NOTE: Events at the Gulbenkian run differently to those at the Quarterhouse. You will need to sign up via Meetup or the Gulb site in order to get a free mini pizza and drink so will need to sign up yourself and your guests before the deadline :)

Schedule for the night::

7:30 - 8:00 - Why Rust? by Edd Barrett

8:15 - 8:45 - Cloud Automation with Low Code Tools by Nick Ellis

Why Rust?
For longer than I have existed, memory errors have plagued systems programming. Although many such errors are benign, sadly many end up being security vulnerabilities, or worse, exploits. In this talk, I will discuss how a security exploit is born, and how the Rust
programming language tries to prevent them.

Cloud Automation with Low Code Tools
Why reinvent the wheel? Or a trainload of wheels? Developers spend a lot of time creating integrations that already exist and are easy to access. A quick demo of how automation can extend developer capabilities quickly, easily and cheaply!
