As Carl Sagan once said, "If you wish to build a keyboard from scratch, you must first invent a CAD kernel."

Last time we had Brian present, he talked about writing the firmware in Rust for a keyboard he had designed and built. He will pick up where he left off, continuing the story with a case to really tie the keyboard together.

He's got a 3D printer and he's not afraid to use it. But he also wants to version control all his projects. So, naturally, instead of clicking and dragging his way through Fusion360, he turns to the arcane world of code-based CAD.

Join us to learn about what code-based CAD is all about, and what the future might be...

"I just want to do two things at the same time."

Modern computers are powerful, but it isn't always obvious how to leverage modern hardware with our languages. In this presentation, Colin Woodbury (Software Engineer at CADDi) will talk about the various situations we find ourselves in for which parallelism is the answer, how we can use Rayon and Tokio to address them, and how to know when Async isn't the answer.

Lessons are drawn from experience (*cough*, mistakes) in Production.
