Join us here at NewStore for another evening of learning, discussing, and networking!



We're excited to welcome Christoph Burgdorf to speak about Rust, a new and exciting system programming language by Mozilla. Additionally, this event will be the perfect chance for you to wind down before the hectic holiday season. We will have drinks and pizza on a first-come-first-served basis so come early to guarantee a slice!



Event Description:



Rust is a system programming language by Mozilla, developed for fast and safe system applications. Even though the language is very young, you can start building stuff with it today! In fact, Christoph started the nickel.rs (http://nickel.rs/) project, which aims to be a blazingly fast, easy to use web application framework for Rust to build fully featured web applications. In this session Christoph will show you *why* you want to learn Rust and how it can be used for real world web programming.
