Rust by Luca Palmieri

This hands-on workshop, hosted at Nana Bianca in Florence and live-streamed for remote attendees, introduces the core principles of Rust—a modern systems programming language celebrated for its high performance, memory safety, and concurrency.

Led by Luca Palmieri, Principal Engineering Consultant at MainMatter and a respected figure in the open-source community, the session covers essential Rust topics, including structs, enums, traits, testing, and key data structures. Tailored for programmers with experience in other languages but new to Rust, the workshop offers a practical, self-directed format. Participants will engage in test-driven exercises to build a JIRA clone, gaining hands-on experience with Rust’s ownership model and its robust tooling ecosystem.

Conducted in English, the session ensures accessibility for a global audience. Whether attending in person or online, participants will explore Rust’s potential to create efficient, reliable, and secure software, leaving equipped with the skills to tackle real-world development challenges.
