Learn the basics of Rust programming from scratch, starting with the syntax, then moving to the core components of Rust.

Become a Rust Professional

In this module, we’ll start with the basics of the Rust programming language, and learn the syntax, philosophy, and the anatomy of Rust. With that in hand, we’ll move to some of the more unique parts of Rust, such as expression-oriented programming, ownership, and its robust type system.
In the latter half of the module, we’ll work through some of the core components of Rust, such as references, memory management, mutability, traits, slices, and generics.

The Ultimate Guide to Rust Programming

A lot of problems in software come about from things changing when you don’t expect them to. That’s why Rust defaults to having immutable variables; it’s easier to think about things when they can’t change. This is a pretty big deal in Rust. It means that if I have an immutable value, and I print it twice, I know it will give me the same value. This applies to immutable references too.
