Are you in awe of how Rust systematically eliminates entire classes of bugs and security vulnerabilities and are looking to take your first step toward understanding this diverse yet fun programming language? This video course will get you started with Rust and teach you how to write high-performance code without worrying about crashes. The course starts with the background and origin of Rust and explains why it is a great programming language. Next, you’ll explore the fundamental concepts of Rust such as cargo, variables, and functions, and get a walkthrough of Rust’s primitive types and control flow. Moving ahead, you’ll cover essential aspects of Rust, including ownership and borrowing with the help of interesting examples. Later, you’ll get to grips with structs, traits, collections, and enums. Toward the end, you’ll work through exercises to learn about closures and threads, and a project name Invader to get hands-on experience. By the end of this course, you’ll be well-versed with Rust programming fundamentals and have the skills you need to write error-free code.
