Rust hands-on, presentation with exercises

Link to presentation.

This hands-on is targeted at rust beginners.

Prerequisites

The workshop practices require that Rust is installed on your system.

Official install instructions: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Include ~/.cargo/bin in your PATH environment variable, so rustc (the compiler), cargo (build/dependency tool) and rustup can be found.

Visual Studio Code is a convenient IDE for working with Rust. It is recommended to install the rust-analyzer extension, so during coding you get code completion, errors shown without having to compile first, ... The CodeLLDB debugger extension allows for debugging of your source code.

Running the presentation

First install backslide:

npm install -g backslide
