Rust, the programming language that regularly come in at #1 in the yearly Stack Overflow developer survey. Performant, safe, with language features that protect you from yourself. But what does that mean for you as a .NET developer? Should you spend your time learning Rust? Or are you going to need to forget everything you know about .NET in order to learn Rust?

In this workshop, you'll build an entire application in Rust consisting of a web application, and a backend service processing messages from Kafka. Throughout, you'll have a direct comparison to the same service written in .NET. By the end of the workshop, you'll feel capable of building entire applications in Rust, and who knows. Maybe the next new service you build you'll choose Rust to compliment your existing .NET applications.
