iX Workshop: From C++ to Rust – Jump Start into a Modern Systems Language

21/01/2025

Rust has grown steadily in recent years and has established itself as a powerful alternative to languages like C++ or Java. Rust is becoming increasingly important, especially in areas where security and performance play important roles, such as systems programming, WebAssembly, or embedded systems. No wonder, because Rust offers many advantages over classic programming languages through strict typing, ownership concepts, and strong error handling.

In our one-day practical workshop Jump Start in the Rust Programming Language Experienced developers get a straightforward and quick introduction to the Rust programming language. The goal is to understand the special features of Rust, use the language efficiently, and become confident in the basics of memory management and error handling.

You will learn how to efficiently manage projects with Cargo and Crates and gain insight into program flow control that is different from other languages. Another focus is Rust’s strong type system, which impresses with its strict typing and special structures. Particularly important is the concept of ownership and lending, which enables secure storage management. This also includes iterator handling and idiomatic error handling in Rust.

practice-oriented learning

The workshop is interactive and includes practical exercises so you can immediately apply what you’ve learned. You will be introduced to the use of the most important tools and you can deepen your knowledge through practice in a safe environment.

Your trainer Rainer Stropek is an expert in software development, software architecture and cloud computing. With his team he developed the award-winning SaaS time tracking “Time Cockpit”.

The next online workshop will take place on February 18, 2025 and is aimed at developers who need a quick introduction to Rust or who want to switch from C++ to Rust.
