Course Overview
Welcome to our one-day Rust programming course. In this immersive programme, we will dive into the world of Rust, a modern systems programming language that offers a unique combination of safety, performance, and concurrency. Whether you are a beginner taking your first steps in programming or an experienced developer looking to expand your skill set, this course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to become proficient in Rust.
Over the course of the day, we will cover a comprehensive range of topics that will empower you to write efficient, reliable, and high-performance code using Rust. On day 1, we will start with an introduction to Rust's syntax, data types, variables, and control structures, allowing you to quickly become familiar with the language's foundations. Through hands-on exercises and examples, we will guide you in mastering Rust's ownership model, borrowing system, and lifetime concepts, which are essential for writing safe and memory-efficient code.
On Day 2, we will delve deeper into advanced Rust topics, exploring concurrent programming and multi-threading using Rust's powerful abstractions. You will learn how to leverage Rust's fearless concurrency to write robust and efficient parallel programmes. We will also cover error handling techniques, including Rust's Result and Option types, to handle errors in a concise and safe manner. Additionally, we will explore Rust's ecosystem and its package manager, Cargo, which enables seamless dependency management and project building.
