Tues, October 20 – Bare Metal Rust on Embedded ARM Cortex
When: 6:00 pm | Where: 1250 Stephenson Highway, Suite 200, Troy, MI
It was suggested that we do a group project, of sufficient complexity, and work on the various portions of it in an iterative manner. I think that is a fantastic idea, and would like to kick-off just such a project at this Meetup!
For Software and System Engineers who desire the machine control and speed of C, but have always wished for a way to use Scala’s functional programming paradigms, without the heavy runtime. Real-time meets functional. This is a Rust that Detroit shouldn’t fear. The language of the future is here now.

When: 1:00 – 4:00 pm | Where: Detroit Library – 5201 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI
In our last library workshop we learned some HTML; this time we’ll be delving into CSS! CSS styles our HTML and gives us the power to make our websites beautiful. This hands-on workshop will be beginner-friendly.
Want to learn how to code? Have a great idea? Don’t be shy. Develop it. It can be intimidating for women to learn and ask questions when they are in an extreme minority. Our courses focus on coding, leveraging existing technology, and having something to show for it (aka building sweet websites).
