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

Here’s an important takeaway from our `VecIter` in the previous lesson: a `Vec` on its own doesn’t have enough information to be iterated over. We need to know the current position in the iteration, and a `Vec` doesn’t have that information. Therefore, it’s impossible to have an `Iterator` implementation for `Vec`. And sure enough, there is no such implementation available. We can even demonstrate that by trying to use the `next` method directly on a `Vec`:
