Rust Programming

Rust is an intriguing language. Syntactically similar to C++, it offers higher-order language features to simplify important tasks such as memory management, concurrent execution, and safe vs. unsafe execution.

This course will help you understand what Rust applications look like, how to write Rust applications properly, and how to get the most out of the language and its libraries.

What you will learn:

  • Creating, building, and running Rust applications
  • Organizing Rust code and application structure properly
  • Managing memory safely and effectively
  • Using object-oriented techniques
  • Using functional programming techniques
  • Implementing concurrency
  • Exploring additional Rust techniques

Prerequisites:

  • Experience with C/C++ or a similar programming language such as Go or Java
