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

We’ve been using the term slice for a while now. But we haven’t talked about _why_ they’re called slices. It turns out there’s a good reason; you can slice up a slice! Oftentimes, we want to look at a smaller piece of a collection. And Rust has  *slice syntax* to allow talking about these smaller pieces.

It’s easiest to see this in action:
