The Rust Programming Language
Go from zero Rust knowledge to building complete Rust programs. Learn Rust’s core syntax, data types, collections, pattern matching, vectors, ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, and low-level memory concepts to understand why Rust is performant and when to use it.
What you'll learn
- Start from no Rust experience and build complete Rust programs
- Use Rust’s built-in data types, collections, and standard library
- Work with packages from Rust’s ecosystem via Cargo
- Understand ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes in depth
- Learn stack vs heap, memory management, and performance concepts
- Practice with exercises on primitives, collections, pattern matching, vectors, ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes
Skills you'll gain
- Write and run complete Rust programs from scratch
- Use Rust primitives, numeric types, strings, and control flow
- Work with tuples, structs, arrays, vectors, and slices
- Define and use enums, pattern matching, methods, and type parameters
- Understand stack vs heap, manual vs automatic memory management
- Apply Rust’s ownership and borrowing rules to avoid memory bugs
- Use references, mutable references, and the borrow checker effectively
- Reason about and annotate lifetimes, including 'static
Prerequisites
- • Basic programming experience in any language
- • Familiarity with fundamental concepts like variables, functions, and conditionals
Who this course is for
- → Developers new to Rust who want a guided introduction
- → Engineers interested in systems programming and performance
- → Web and backend developers exploring Rust as a new language
- → Developers who want a deeper understanding of memory management
