Rust Meetup Linz - 24th Edition

Rust Meetup Linz, No. 24!

Hello dear Rustaceans! It is our birthday 🥳🎉🎊🎂! On July 28th, we celebrate two years of Rust Linz. The best way of doing that is with two great guest speakers.

Ryan Levick, Principal Rust Developer Advocate at Microsoft, will kick off the evening. In fact, Ryan has been our very first guest speaker two years ago and we are so happy that he will take the time to come back and do another guest talk at Rust Linz.

After Ryan, our very own Stefan Baumgartner will do the second talk of the evening.

The sessions' content is not yet 100% fixed, so stay tuned for updates of this meetup announcement in the next few days.

📣 Rust Before Main (by Ryan Levick)
17:40 (5:40pm CEST)

When you run a Rust program, you may be tempted to think that the first code to execute is the main function. However, this is far from the case. In this talk, we'll explore what happens before the main function runs. By the end, you'll have a deeper understanding of what happens before the bits that rustc compiles your program into ever run.

ℹ️ About Ryan
Ryan has been writing Rust since around version 0.10. He now focuses on Rust full time at Microsoft. When he's not doing Rust, he enjoys cooking, traveling and exploring Berlin where he lives.

📣 Introduction to Tower (by Stefan Baumgartner
Approx. 18:30 (6:30pm CEST)

Tower is a library from the Tokio ecosystem, featuring reusable components and abstractions for building networking clients and servers. We look at some of its use-cases, learn how to read and write Service trait implementations, and discuss some of its downsides.

ℹ️ About Stefan
Stefan Baumgartner works at Dynatrace. He writes for Manning, Smashing Magazine and A List Apart and made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. In his spare time, he organizes ScriptConf and DevOne in Linz, and co-hosts the German language Working Draft podcast. Stefan enjoys Italian food, Belgian beer and British vinyl records.
