Overview

From ownership to async services in a day. Aimed at engineers who ship Go or Java today and keep hearing that the next service should be written in Rust.

The morning is all fundamentals with no hand-waving: ownership, borrowing, error handling and tests, each with short exercises and a compiler that will argue with you. After lunch you build a small HTTP service with a database pool, profile it, and package it into a container that starts in milliseconds.

Studio Ost is a whitewashed former print workshop off Revaler Straße, with tall windows, long benches and a projector wall. Twenty-four seats, two instructors and a mentor who answers questions on the side channel all day. Lunch, coffee and a printed cheat sheet are included.
