Rust Configuration Files: TOML, Environment Overrides, and Validation

A practical two-hour session on Rust Configuration Files, focused on TOML, Environment Overrides, and Validation. Rust is used as the implementation context while the core lesson stays on software engineering fundamentals, reliability, testing, and operational clarity.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Rust Configuration Files
• Apply TOML in a small working example
• Apply Environment Overrides in a small working example
• Apply and Validation in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
