How to Prepare

Between May and December, we got seven (7) meetups, in which try and focus on learning Rust language, the projects in the ecosystem.

With the ground work done, we are going to try build something at the Rust Bangalore 2017 December Hackathon.

Happy Learning. Happy Hacking !

This is a FOSS "free of charge" event.
