Build Your First REST API in Rust - LIU Brooklyn Workshop
A few weeks ago, I dusted off my “Build Your First REST API in Rust” workshop and took it to another borough. Hello, LIU Brooklyn!
My workshops begin with a show of hands to see who has worked with Rust and REST APIs before. About 20 students attended this time, and the topics were new to nearly all of them! I’m hopeful they left feeling Rust was even a tiny bit more accessible.
I’m grateful to my friend and colleague Samir Iabbassen for hosting, and Professor Christopher League for seeding the discussion with some nerdy programming language topics.
After the primary REST API material, I also demoed Ozark, an example of Rust compiled to WebAssembly for use in the browser. No server required!
If you want to try it yourself, here are the materials:
See you at the next one!
