About

Henk

  • Embedded software engineer
  • henk@tweedegolf.com

Henk is our embedded Rust expert. He has worked on IoT products like an industrial tracking sensor and a heart rate monitoring device for Glanum Medical. He started at TG as a back-end developer, but his heart was always in embedded. The more he could tinker, the better.

It has proven a challenge to satiate Henk's thirst for knowledge and so now, he does what many curious people aspire to do: he teaches, for example workshops on (embedded) Rust. Henk is the creator and maintainer of teach-rs (formerly Rust 101), open-source teaching materials to introduce the language to students of Computer Science.

It's a wonder Henk has any spare time, having chosen to combine his newfound teaching career and his embedded developer job with going back to school himself. He likes to ride his motorcycle when he can, or tinker on it when he can´t (he's recently made a plan on how to have at least one piece of Rust software running on his bike...). When he's done teaching himself, or us, or our clients, he somehow has heaps of energy left for his kids too.

And whenever he has trouble sleeping? Henk enjoys reading articles about Rust, as many as he can find.

Mix in Rust with C++

This article will help you to slowly introduce some Rust into your C++ project. We'll familiarize ourselves with the tooling and go through some examples.
In this article, we'll dive into combining Rust with Python. Specifically, this post covers calling modules written in Rust from Python scripts.
Can't wait to learn how to call C code from your Rust project after reading my previous posts about Rust interop in general and calling Rust from C? Good! If you haven't read those yet, please do, because I'm going to assume you have in this article. We've seen the basics of Rust's FFI, and have experimented with calling Rust from C. Going the other way around, you'll walk into much the same challenges.

teach-rs

teach-rs, formerly Rust 101, is a collection of modular teaching materials to build a university course for computer science students, introducing the Rust Programming Language. It is open source and thus available to anyone who wants to teach Rust.

It is governed by the Trifecta Tech Foundation.
