Let’s start:
RsBuild 1.0 is out: Rsbuild is a new, high-performance build tool designed to modernize the webpack ecosystem. Built on Rspack, Rsbuild offers significantly faster build times, reduced configuration complexity, and a TypeScript-friendly API, making it ideal for developers who want a lightweight and easy-to-use solution for CSR applications. With support for a growing plugin ecosystem, advanced features like SSR, and compatibility with existing webpack plugins, Rsbuild is poised to become the go-to tool for modern web development.

Rust 1.81 is out: an interesting feature is the usage of trait in #![no_std] library, which enables the Rust Ecosystem to standardize on the same Error Trait. Read more here
Build YouTube API Data Fetching Using Rust: In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to build a Rust application that fetches data from the YouTube API! We'll cover everything from setting up the Google API, enabling YouTube Data v3, and configuring credentials to initializing your Rust project, writing functions to fetch video data, and saving it to a CSV file.

Build a CLI project in Rust: Let's build a CLI project in Rust, from scratch.
We will handle the terminal inputs, read from a file, and return an output. We will also handle any errors that might occur. We will do this step-by-step, so you can follow along and understand the process. Watch it here
Rocket, the Rust Web framework: I finally created my first video focused on Rust web Frameworks. I made a video about Rocket, an interesting and well-known Rust Web framework. If this gets traction, I might go deeper and make more videos on this framework. You can watch the Rocket Hello World video here.
