During this event, our president will be covering the basic features of Rust, covering concepts like syntax, enums, structs and borrow-checkers. We will cover some of the basic features, and work towards implementing a LinkedList library in Rust. Here is a good resource on the area, the Intro to Rust book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

Next Tuesday, 20th February at 18:15, we’ll be holding a talk about an environment for game-playing AI agents to play poker against one another, made by none other than our president, Daudi Wampamba!
