Tech Fun Time; Using Rust, Elm, and Docker to Build Something Mildly Useful

by Patrick Barrett | at MinneBar 12

You're not going to learn anything earth-shattering here, but you still might see some things you've never happened upon before. This will be, essentially, a "book report" on the process I've gone through so far to build https://stockfaces.com as well as a gentle introduction to some of the technology I used to build it, including:

  • Rust
  • Elm
  • Machine Learning (in Python)
  • Docker Containers
  • Git Lab CI & Container Registry

I don't plan to make a presentation for, I'll just be going through some of the source, describing my high level decisions, and hoping to foster some discussion, so please bring questions.

He's currently taking a sabbatical, but was last employed as an embedded engineer that also wrote a suspicious amount of JavaScript and marketing materials. He also finds it slightly odd writing in the third person.
