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

  - Every Rust program starts at the `main` function

  - Inside the `main` function, you can do things like call `println`

  - The `println` macro lets us do interpolation to produce outputs

  - We can define variables that hold onto values using `let`

  - We can perform basic arithmetic using `+`, `-`, `*`, and `/`

  - Each value has a type, which says what kinds of things it can hold
    
    1.  A `&str` is the type of a string literal, like `"Michael"`
    
    2.  There are lots of different number types, but we’ll mostly use `i32`
