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 seen primitive types, like `i32`, `bool`, or `str`. We’ve seen structs, which let you create more complex types by combining other types. Now it’s time to introduce a third kind of type, `enum`s. These let you create something that may be one of many different things. We’ll start with simple examples, then build up more sophisticated cases.

We’ve played around with a `struct` called `Person` for a while now. We’ve given this person fields like name and age. Let’s add a new field, the person’s job. The question is, how do we represent a job? One way would be to use a `String`:
