Rust Meetup Linz

Welcome to the 4TH EDITION of the RUST MEETUP LINZ. We are happy to welcome two awesome speakers, Karl Grasegger and Claus Matzinger. Hopefully, many of you find the content interesting and join us in this virtual meetup.

Our first guest this time is Karl Grasegger. Karl is a passionate web developer with a love for trying out new things. He will show us how to write a web extensions in Rust. For those of you who are not so much into web development: WebExtensions are cross-browser add-ons that can enhance the capabilities of web browsers.

Our second guest is Claus Matzinger. Claus is from Upper Austria and has studied in Hagenberg. He currently works as a software engineer at Microsoft, author, and freelance consultant. Claus has already written two books about Rust. His topic is currently super relevant: How Rust can help if you want to use the cloud without having to fully trust the cloud provider?

SCHEDULE 📅 for the meetup on November 12th:

17:30 (5:30pm)
WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION (by RUST LINZ ORGANIZERS)

Next up (approx. 17:40 = 5:40pm):
BUILDING A WEB EXTENSION IN RUST (by KARL GRASEGGER)

Having fun with Rust everywhere possible. With a short insight into the skeleton of a web extension we are going to manipulate websites to our liking. Including a small dive into a comfortable build setup for a full blown web extension.

Next up (approx 18:30 = 6:30pm):
TRUSTED COMPUTING WITH RUST AND INTEL SGX (by CLAUS MATZINGER)

Do you like a challenge and at the same time don't trust the cloud? Then this talk is for you! Working without the standard library is a core (no pun intended) aspect of Rust - and it's useful for many things, including embedded development, WASM, and working with encrypted computation such as SGX. In this talk we'll look closer at the latter: Intel's Software Guard EXtensions (SGX) and how we can get started running (mostly) safe no_std code hidden from the eyes of your cloud provider.
