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

Let’s keep the momentum going from our lesson on ownership! We spent a lot of time playing around with ownership and moving, and we found it really annoying (or, at least, I did) that we had to keep moving values into functions and then back out. It would be nice to have a better solution for it. With that kind of introduction, you better believe that’s what we’re about to learn.

Here’s another look at some of that move-in-move-out code we had before:
