Microcontrollers with Rust AND Getting Started With Ratatui

Join us for 2 glorious talks:

Microcontrollers with Rust with Matt Johnston

Rust is a compelling choice for embedded applications, where traditionally the only options were C or C++ (or assembly!). This talk will give a rundown of the current ecosystem and what you need to get started on microcontroller platforms. We'll also look at how code reuse works - for both hardware independence, and sharing code between bigger computers and microcontrollers.

Matt Johnston has been working in systems programming for a couple of decades. He works at Code Construct, focussing on embedded Linux, firmware, and open source.

Response

The talk "Getting Started With Ratatui - The Rust TUI Library" provides an engaging introduction to building terminal user interfaces (TUIs) using the Ratatui library in Rust. The speaker outlines the library's key features, such as its flexibility and ease of use, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced developers. Attendees learn how to set up a basic project, create interactive components, and manage state effectively within a TUI application. The session also highlights practical examples and best practices, encouraging participants to explore the potential of Ratatui for their own projects. Overall, it's a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their command-line applications with rich, user-friendly interfaces.*
