Rust Dependency Hygiene: Crate Selection, Features, Audits, and Updates

A practical two-hour session on Rust Dependency Hygiene, focused on Crate Selection, Features, Audits, and Updates. 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 Dependency Hygiene
• Apply Crate Selection in a small working example
• Apply Features in a small working example
• Apply Audits 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.
