Rust Frontend Workshop (Yew + WebAssembly + Axum)

While Rust is useful on many levels of the software stack, one interesting development due to the now broad support of WebAssembly is using it to write frontend applications that would typically be written in JavaScript or TypeScript in native Rust.

This is interesting because it allows for simple and seamless sharing of libraries, types and traits between the backend and the frontend.

In this Workshop, we will be learning how to build a small frontend application together using the Yew framework. I will also show some things I have learned from working with Yew for some time.

Agenda:

• Meet and greet (30m)
• Yew workshop (1h30m)
• Show and tell and discussion (1h)

There will be coffee and some cake. Parking spots are available for those traveling by car.
