🔧 Workshop Format:

* 18:00-18:30 - Arrival & Networking
Connect with developers from various tech communities while enjoying refreshments
* 18:30-19:45 - Interactive Error Handling Workshop
Building on our previous CLI tool, we'll explore:
* Basic string errors and their limitations
* Creating custom error types
* Leveraging the \`thiserror\` crate for elegant solutions
* Practical patterns for comprehensive error management
* 19:45-20:00 - Community Updates & Future Planning
Share your projects and help shape future meetup topics

🔍 Who Should Attend:

* Beginners looking to strengthen their Rust fundamentals
* Developers who attended our February workshop
* Experienced Rustaceans interested in error handling best practices
* Anyone curious about how Rust's approach compares to other languages

🛠️ Setup Instructions:

* Your laptop with Rust installed (rustup, cargo, etc.)
* IDE with Rust support (VS Code + Rust Extension Pack recommended)
* We'll be continuing from our previous workshop
(Setup assistance will be available for newcomers!)

🎯 What You'll Take Away:

* Understanding of Rust's error handling philosophy
* Practical experience implementing various error approaches
