Is Women in Rust only for women?
We set up Women in Rust to help encourage more women to join the Rust community and therefore our online and in-person events are specifically for women. We also want to be able to support the wider Rust community too, which is why all of our talks will be available to watch on Youtube after the event. We also welcome you to use our Notion Resources page, where you can find useful articles, reading materials and advice to help you on your journey in learning Rust.
