⚙️ Rust Course 3

🕖 Thu 27 Oct 7pm - 9pm 📍 Department of Computer Science
For experienced programmers. Learn one of the most loved languages by developers! We had a sneak peek at traits last week, but now we get the real thing. This week we'll finish our content with traits and error handling! In our lab, we'll get you started on raytracing or finishing off CHIP-8. The recordings of the first two sessions can be found on our YouTube channel.

With the support of a grant by the Rust Foundation, we'll be guiding you through what makes Rust stand out from the crowd, and get hands-on with some projects. First, Tic-tac-toe. Next, a Chip-8 Interpreter. Finally, a Graphics Raytracer built from the ground up. Not to be missed!
