Rust by Example - Primitives and Custom Types

Details

Our "Rust by Example" Educational Series continues! After successfully covering "Hello World" in our first session, we're diving deeper into Rust's type system.

This hands-on session covers Chapters 2 & 3: "Primitives" and "Custom Types" from Rust by Example. We'll explore Rust's built-in data types, then learn how to create your own structs, enums, and type aliases - fundamental building blocks for any Rust program.

⚠️ New to the series? Arrive early (5:45pm) for setup help and a quick recap of previous content.

⏰ Schedule:

  • 18:00-18:30: Networking with refreshments (join other tech communities)
  • 18:30-20:00: Rust by Example - Primitives & Custom Types chapters

🎯 Who should attend:

  • Those who attended our first session (perfect continuation!)
  • Developers with basic Rust setup who want to join the series
  • Anyone curious about Rust's powerful type system
  • Programmers from other languages wanting to see what makes Rust special

📋 What to bring:

  • Your laptop with Rust installed (we can help if needed)
  • Questions from your own coding experiments
  • Experience with types from other languages (we love comparisons!)

Building on our solid foundation - let's explore what makes Rust's type system so expressive and safe!

Looking forward to seeing returning Rustaceans and welcoming new faces! 🦀
