Rust is a fast-growing, modern programming language oriented to system programming that guarantees memory and thread safety. It enables you to eliminate many classes of bugs at compile-time. This course covers all the skills needed to work with real-world data using Rust. 

In this course, you’ll learn all the basics of intermediate Rust programming. You’ll discover and master the five data-related skills: data input, storage, serving data, analyzing data, and data visualization. You’ll learn to ingest data from various formats, like CSV, JSON, web APIs, and web scraping. You’ll also learn to store the data using Redis, an SQL server, or a NoSQL database like MongoDB. Finally, you will learn how to present your data in meaningful visualizations, web maps, and reports. 

After taking this course, you’ll be able to approach data using Rust with confidence. You’ll be able to manage SQLite, ORM SQL, and NoSQL databases in Rust. You’ll learn the basics of web scraping, data analysis, and machine learning in Rust.

Processing Real-world Data Efficiently with Rust

Structs are the foundation of dealing with data in Rust. Let’s do a quick review of the basics before we dive in deeper.

# A quick review of structs

A structure is a named collection, defining a new type. A struct can take one of three forms.

1) Regular structs:

```rust
struct Person {
    name: String,
    age: i8,
}
```
2) Tuple structs:
```rust
struct Point(i32, i32, i32);
```
3) Unit-like structs:
```rust
struct Error():
```

Regular structs name all their fields.

Tuple structs only give the type, but not the name. 

Unit-like structs are new types that don’t contain any other type. This type of struct is mostly used to take advantage of Rust’s zero-cost abstractions.

Let’s look at some code for instantiating and initializing a struct:
