The Rust Programming Language

The Rust Programming Language

This course will teach you the fundamentals of Rust, a modern programming language that has the both the power of native code as well as the safety of some managed languages. In this course you will learn the following:

• How to download and install Rust; how to compile programs and (optionally) work with an IDE.
• Learn about fundamental data types and how to use them to declare variables.
• Undersand arrays, vectors and strings, the concept of slices.
• Learn to create functions, methods, closures, higher-order functions.
• Understand how to create various data structures such as structs and enums; also traits.
• Master Rust's explicit take on the concept of lifetime with ownership, borrowing, lifetime specifiers, lifetime elision.
• Learn how to safely share data around your (possibly multithreaded) application with Rc, Arc and Mutex.
• Use Rust's package managent using Cargo.
• Learn about other useful topics: documentation, conditional compilation, testing.

This course, like all my other courses, will be supplemented with additional lectures based on participants' requests.
