Rust Hack

 

I am Viral Parmar (https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/VeerSkyfire/), I am Mozilla Reps, Coach in Mozilla Global Sprint, Mentor in Mozilla Open Leadership, contributing in Privacy and security, L10N, web literacy, webVR, Rust, SUMO, community building and proud Mozillian at heart from India.

What is Rust?
Rust is a systems programming language sponsored by Mozilla Research. It is designed to be a "safe, concurrent, practical language", supporting functional and imperative-procedural paradigms. Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but is designed for better memory safety while maintaining performance.

After successful series of events in Rain of Rust campaign we didn't organized any Rust event in Ahmadabad recently so i thought why not lets do one event. More then 15 people showed up in event and we had amazing session on Rust where i started the discussion from the issue on bugs in application from which hackers take an advantage of that bug and exploit its like Heartbleed attack, GnuTLS and etc case study were very helpful to get them understand how bugs in code can be dreadful for our applications, then i showed how you can code in more secure manner where memory safety, thread safety, concurrency are important and speed ownership, borrowing concepts are best feature of Rust. Most of them didn't bring laptop so i gave them demos of several programs to clear the basic concepts and overview of cargo.

After the event few participant left and few were still there so thought why can we do the support sprint session and also involve them to support Mozilla firefox Support sprint then i taught them how to give response the review and how to moderate response and the get started.

FireFox Quantum Sprint Ahmedabad

 

Yay! I recently became Mozilla Reps and on my first reps call I have come to know about Firefox quantum sprint, Mozilla is doing global testing event to removes the compatibility issue with our own Firefox browser version 57 which is the fastest, lean and beautiful browser ever.

So I decided to host this event in my city so I arranged 3 events in Ahmedabad and 1 in Vadodara with the help of Sumedh Mistry where more than 70 people participated in our events. We tested more than 300 websites and reported more than 20 genuine bugs.

Successfully completed all the events, meet lots of new people and  looking forward to engage them more and make a QA testing team.

Rain of Rust at GEC Modasa on 14th July 2017

I am Viral Parmar (https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/VeerSkyfire/) mozillian at heart, I am contributing in Privacy and security, L10N, web literacy, webVR, Rust, connected community, community building and proud Regional Co-ordinator at Gujarat, India.

What is Rust ?
Rust is a systems programming language sponsored by Mozilla Research. It is designed to be a "safe, concurrent, practical language", supporting functional and imperative-procedural paradigms. Rust is syntactically similar to C++, but is designed for better memory safety while maintaining performance.

During rain of rust campaign, we were actively working to reach out maximum people and aware them about Rust language in different-different cities all over India where this was the last event for this campaign. I went to Government Engineering College Modasa to give session on rust and inspired 100 future IT engineers to be a good programmer and how to contribute to rust and Mozilla, it was amazing experience for me to be an speaker in this college instead of seating in a crowd and attend the technical talk on Programming language.

I always try to learn something new every day weather its about technology, cyber security or programming, recently I was introduced to rust through my mozillian friends and it intrigued me to code in more secure manner where memory safety, thread safety, concurrency and speed are the best feature of rust. I started learning this amazing language using rust India github repo, after learning some basic I thought why not aware other people in community about rust so we organized Rust user group meetup in Gujarat.
