Why Rust?

An introduction for Managers, Decision Makers and Technical Leads.

Introduction

In our half-day course on Why Rust? you will learn what Rust is about, where it is from and where it is going, and whether it is right for you to look at Rust for your next project. The agenda includes two interactive lectures, an extended live programming demonstration, and a Q&A session. We also provide a list of resources and places you can go for support and advice on taking your next steps.

We conduct all training sessions remotely using modern video-conferencing tools to ensure the best learning experience.
