Course details

If you know even a little bit about programming languages, you know there are a plethora of options to choose from. If your priority is a language focused on reliability, speed, memory, safety, and parallelism, then Rust may be the one for you. In this course, instructor Barron Stone covers the key components of Rust, starting with basic programming concepts including variables, data types, functions, and control loops. He then moves on to some of the core concepts that are unique to Rust, including ownership, borrowing references, and crates. While Rust is great for low-level systems programming, it’s also being used for web apps, network services, and embedded programs. As Barron shows, the features of Rust, along with great tools, documentation, and a welcoming community, have made Rust a language that developers love.

    Good course! The course looks good for a beginner. It has amazing descriptions for wrong answers in quizzes. There are information about changes in recent versions of Rust. Very good pronunciation and clear sound. Sometimes code examples are bad, like function "process_fuel" which returns the length of the string of propellant name. I think such courses should teach beginners to create proper variable names, proper functions, etc., so it is important for a lector to create good code examples. 4/5. Thank you very much, Barron!

    I have really enjoyed this course. I have always been afraid of and resistant to learning Rust due to the language's reputation for difficulty. Barron does an excellent job of articulating key concepts with clarity and relative simplicity. Sure, this course gently exposes the tip of what I suspect is a very large iceberg, but I feel that my mind has been opened and much of my ignorance about and fear of Rust has been dispelled. So looking forward to the rest of the journey. Great job, Barron!
