and lately some [Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org/).

## // talks

* **Rust for Rubyists** - FrOSCon, RedFrogConf, 24.08.2014 - this was a bit spontaneous and prepared in only one day. Mostly the content from [first experience with Rust](/2014/08/12/first-experience-with-rust/). I also gave this talk two months later at the Barcamp Salzburg (again, totally spontaneous to fill a gap in the schedule). ([Slides](https://fnordig.de/talks/2014/froscon/rust-for-rubyists/), [PDF](https://fnordig.de/talks/2014/froscon/rust-for-rubyists/froscon2014-redfrogconf-rust-for-rubyists.pdf))
* **Introduction to Redis** - OpenTechSchool Dortmund, 16.12.2014 - these slides are actually extracted from the _real slides_, which were built in [try.redis.io](http://try.redis.io). ([Slides](http://fnordig.de/talks/2014/ots/redis-introduction-otsdo-2014-12-16.pdf))
* **Rust Introduction** - CCCAC, 05.03.2015 ([Video](https://videoag.fsmpi.rwth-aachen.de/?view=player&lectureid=4532), [Slides](https://fnordig.de/talks/2015/cccac/rust-intro/#0))
* **U2F Authentication** - Cologne.rb, 20.05.2015 ([Slides](https://fnordig.de/talks/2015/colognerb/u2f/slides.pdf), [Slides on slidr.io](http://slidr.io/badboy/u2f-authentication))
* **Redis Cluster** - PHPUGDUS, 28.05.2015 ([Slides](http://fnordig.de/talks/2015/phpugdus/redis-cluster/slides.pdf), [Slides on slidr.io](http://slidr.io/badboy/redis-cluster))
