Rust by Example - Hello World

Starting our new "Rust by Example" Educational Series! We're beginning with the fundamentals - getting Rust set up and writing your first programs.

This hands-on session focuses on Chapter 1: "Hello World" from Rust by Example. We'll ensure everyone has a working Rust environment and walk through your first Rust programs together, covering basic syntax, compilation, and running code.

⚠️ **Arrive early (5:45pm) if you need help installing Rust** - we'll have setup support before the main session!

⏰ Schedule:

1. 18:00-18:30: Networking with refreshments (join other tech communities)
2. 18:30-20:00: Rust by Example - Hello World chapter (+ setup help as needed)

🎯 Who should attend:

• Complete Rust beginners (perfect starting point!)
• Developers wanting to learn Rust from the ground up
• Anyone who's tried Rust before but wants a structured approach
• Experienced developers curious about Rust's unique approach

📋 What to bring:

• Your laptop (we'll help with Rust installation if needed)
• A willingness to learn and experiment
• Your questions about getting started with Rust

This is the perfect entry point for our educational series - no prior Rust experience required! We'll build from here in future sessions.

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new Rustaceans to the community! 🦀
