Rust Training for Teams
In our customized introductory or advanced Rust training, you will learn the fundamental skills to read and write Rust code competently on your own. Besides the syntax, you will learn about Rust’s type system, the ownership model, and concurrent programming. We’ll also introduce you to the daily coding workflow using the tooling supplied around the language. Depending on your needs you may choose further topics from our extensive material list.

We conduct all training sessions remotely using modern video-conferencing tools to ensure the best learning experience.

Embedded for Beginners
The Beginner Workshop covers everything necessary to get started writing applications in Rust on an embedded system. We’ll get you up and running, and explain the basics of working with Embedded Rust. By the end of the Beginner Workshop, you will know
  • How to write, build and run embedded (no_std) Rust applications
  • About the existing tooling for development and deployment of embedded applications
  • How to debug applications using logging and stack backtraces
  • How to develop an application using a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
You'll be able to follow the beginner workshop if you know Cargo, basic Rust syntax and built-in operators like match. If you've actively worked through at least Chapters 1-5 of the Rust Book, you're prepared (you can skip the Ownership chapter).

Embedded Advanced
The Advanced Workshop is for developers that have already tried out Embedded Rust, and want to learn more. We'll cover some of the more advanced topics of working productively with Rust on bare-metal systems. By the end of the Advanced Workshop, you will know
  • How to build and run embedded applications (refresher)
  • How to write and debug evented, time sensitive code
  • How to test no_std code
  • How to handle errors in a long-lived application

Embedded for Beginners with ESP32-C3

This workshop is targeted at people who are interested in exploring the IoT capabilities of the esp-rs board, and people who have basic Rust knowledge but are new to embedded programming and embedded Rust in particular. It is all about setting up a project and letting the board interact with the outside world. We'll focus on higher level abstractions for the HTTP and MQTT interfaces and take advantage of being able to use Rust's standard library on an embedded device.

Learn how to:

  • Set up a project with cargo generate
  • Write an HTTP client
  • Write an HTTP server
  • Write an MQTT client that publishes sensor data and receives commands via a subscribed topic
Embedded Advanced with ESP32-C3

This workshop is targeted at people with basic knowledge in embedded programming and Rust programming and takes an journey through driver writing in [no_std] Rust. This course is for those who are interested in exploring lower level peripheral access, reading and writing into registers, and learning about interrupt handling in embedded Rust.

Learn how to:

  • Read out one sensor via I2C
  • Read out two sensors via the same I2C bus
  • Write a driver for a I2C peripheral
  • Handle a button interrupt

We conduct all training sessions remotely using modern video-conferencing tools to ensure the best learning experience.

Training Rust since 2014
A comic style drawing of Florian. He has a beard, his hair is rendered light blue.
Florian Gilcher
Florian has been programming Rust for ten years and is a co-founder of the local Berlin Rust meetup and the European Rust conference RustFest. He has been giving Rust training courses professionally since 2015, with more than five training courses per year. RIPE, Mozilla, and Wire are just some of the groups he has trained. He also gives workshops and async programming around conferences. Before training Rust, he trained people on Elasticsearch and Ruby on Rails.
A comic style drawing of Tanks. They wear a scarf, their hair is rendered green.
Tanks Transfeld
Tanks is an embedded software developer with a background in teaching chemistry and art. They are one of the authors of knurling books, a set of materials to learn embedded Rust through small projects. They are the editor of Ferrous' teaching materials and contributed to numerous other resourced for learning Rust. Tanks also teaches future Rust trainers at Ferrous Systems the didactic aspects of the job.
A comic style drawing of Jonathan. He has a beard, his hair is rendered yellow.
Jonathan Pallant
Jonathan Pallant is an embedded systems engineer with nearly 20 years professional consulting experience. Jonathan started with Turbo Pascal, Delphi and Java, before moving into C and C++. These days, however, Jonathan specialises in the Rust Programming Language and, in particular, its use in embedded systems. Previous projects have included satellite telephones and broadband modems, tracking beacons using NB-IoT, consumer Bluetooth Audio devices and personal safety proximity warning systems. He is the original author of around 30 packages on crates.io, and co-maintainer for many more.
A comic style drawing of Amanjeev, semi-profile. His hands are crossed under his chin, he looks slightly up. His hair (also beard) is rendered green.
Amanjeev Sethi
Despite being born and raised in a small town in India where he had no access to computers, Aman eventually got to study computer science and work with computers. He enjoys teaching and has taught computer science courses as an adjunct lecturer. For software-related roles, he has moved around the stack quite a bit; from early front-end dev to genomics research programmer to infrastructure engineer. These days Aman is focused on bringing Rust knowledge to more people and teams who can use it to build systems that do not keep them awake at night.
A comic style drawing of Miguel. He wars a hoodie and has a beard, his hair is rendered light blue.
Miguel Raz Guzmán Macedo
Miguel Raz Guzmán Macedo is a physicist in training from Mexico City, México. Miguel began his open source career in the Julia programming language, where he focused on high performance computing and sharing video tutorials and translating Spanish documentation. He now brings this expertise to Rust as one of the contributors to the stdsimd library, and enjoys all benefits that Rust's ownership system brings to anti-aliasing optimizations.
A comic style drawing of Andrei, semi-profile. He looks slightly up. He wears glasses, has a beard, his hair is rendered yellow.
Andrei Listochkin
Andrei first learned Rust way before its 1.0 release and co-founded RustFest conferences with Florian and others. During his career he worked on a web browser, a large telephony platform, a cancer diagnostics software, an industrial monitoring system, with many other projects in between. For years he's been giving conference talks and conducting workshops in person and online, mostly on web technologies. These days he teaches teams Rust and focuses on making Rust developer experience better by contributing to Rust Analyzer and other projects.
