Learn to Code with Rust Specialization
Master Rust programming for safe, efficient applications. Learn ownership, borrowing, traits, generics, lifetimes, iterators, error handling, and TDD while building real-world command-line projects in a 4-course, project-based specialization.
What you'll learn
- Gain a strong foundation in Rust syntax, variables, functions, control flow, and data types
- Learn ownership, borrowing, references, and lifetimes for memory-safe Rust code
- Structure applications with enums, structs, traits, generics, modules, and crates
- Apply test-driven development, error handling, randomness, and iterators in real-world Rust projects
Skills you'll gain
- Write memory-safe, efficient Rust code using ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes
- Build modular Rust programs with structs, enums, traits, and generic implementations
- Implement robust error handling and test-driven development with Rust’s tools
- Develop real-world command-line applications using iterators, closures, and external crates
- Set up a Rust development environment and work with variables, mutability, and data types
- Use control flow, loops, and recursion to build efficient Rust programs
- Work with slices, arrays, strings, vectors, and HashMaps for data management
- Organize large Rust projects with modules and crates
- Apply lifetimes, iterators, and randomness (rand, chrono) in advanced Rust programs
- Write comprehensive tests and practice TDD in Rust
Prerequisites
- • Basic programming knowledge
- • Familiarity with general programming concepts (no prior Rust experience required)
Who this course is for
- → Software developers looking to learn Rust
- → Systems programmers interested in memory-safe systems programming
