In this workshop, we will teach you how to build a simple app with Makepad, a modern GPU-based UI Framework for Rust that allows for writing fast and lightweight apps. The app we are going to build is a simple but functional demonstration of Makepad's capabilities, showcasing its unique approach to GPU-accelerated rendering and declarative UI design. Participants will learn the fundamentals of Makepad's architecture, how to create responsive layouts, handle user interactions, and leverage Rust's performance benefits for creating smooth, native-feeling applications across platforms.
