Intro to Rust Workshop #63

Closed sb1752 closed 5 days ago

sb1752 commented 3 months ago

Description

Based on a course I've created and a cohort I ran with Chaincode Labs, I'd like to offer an Introduction to Rust workshop.

What is this workshop about? Provide as many details as possible.

This is a beginner introduction to the Rust programming language. We will learn how the Rust language works by building a Bitcoin raw transaction decoder, similar to bitcoin-cli decoderawtransaction. Given time constraints, we will only partially get through this project.

What would an attendee learn from this workshop?

Basic Rust concepts: types, data structures, ownership model, references, and review of computer science fundamentals such as the stack vs the heap

Is there anything attendees should read up on before they attend this talk?

Chapter 6 of Mastering Bitcoin, 3rd Edition

Is there anything attendees should set up before the workshop?

Yes, attendees should have Rust and Cargo already set up on their machine as we won't spend time with setup.

@sb1752

We are collecting an additional attribute for the workshops. Please update your issue and include a line item on the difficulty level of the workshop with either "Beginner", "Intermediate", or "Advanced".

Error on the side of more advanced than less advanced as we want to set strong expectations. Depending on what you pick please gauge your workshop accordingly.
