# Yuval Adam
- Full stack developer
- Freelance consultant
- 10+ years Pythonista
- [https://yuv.al](https://yuv.al)

class: middle, left
## Baby steps
- [https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/)
- Book is a great reference for specific concepts
- That's it.
- [https://exercism.io/tracks/rust](https://exercism.io/tracks/rust)
- Exercism is a good *exercise*
- But I need a real-world project...

# Slinging media files over UPnP
- Reverse engineering a cheap HDMI/UPnP dongle
- [https://github.com/yuvadm/rockcast](https://github.com/yuvadm/rockcast)

# UPnP Casting
- Send a UPnP discovery packet over **UDP** broadcast
- Dongle on LAN responds with some fugly **XML**
- Serve the media file over **HTTP**
- Send an XML request to the dongle pointing to the file
- Send play/pause actions as neccesary
You can implement this with several dozen lines of Python/JS (or any other modern "dynamic" language)
---
class: middle, left
# UPnP Casting
## Dependencies
- `clap` for CLI
- `hyper` for HTTP calls
- `tokio-fs` for serving the static file
- `tokio-io` for handling UDP traffic
- `tokio` for wrapping it all in one runtime
- `futures` because... you need it
It's on [https://github.com/yuvadm/slingr](https://github.com/yuvadm/slingr)

# RTL-SDR
- A very cool piece of hardware used as *poor man's Software Defined Radio*
- [SDR Intro talk at PyCon 2018](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJOFaOM2wUc) (not really a Python talk)
- Reference library implemented in C + heavy usage of `libusb`
- Let's do an exercise rewrite!

# `impl RtlSdr`
- C **is** the original systems programming language
- Writing low-level code gives you a much better grasp of the language vs. C
- Personal anecdote:
- *really* hard to stop thinking in OOP terms
- Especially not having **inheritance** in your toolkit
Work in progress at [https://github.com/yuvadm/rustl-sdr/](https://github.com/yuvadm/rustl-sdr/)
