We've started approving #TABConf2023 submissions for workshops and talks.
Here are the first 3 workshops approved for #TABConf2023 ⬇️
1️⃣ Programming Bitcoin in Rust by tcharding:
This workshop will give attendees a chance to play around with rust-bitcoin. The rust-bitcoin crate is a low-level crate used by popular Rust Bitcoin projects like BDK, LDK, and electrs. The point is to help devs get familiar with the library and foster cross-communication between projects.
