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

  - An array stores a fixed sized collection of values on the stack

  - You can use index syntax to access and mutate values in an array

  - A slice is a non-fixed sized collection of values, which may live anywhere in memory

  - You can borrow a slice from an array

  - A string slice is a thin wrapper around a byte slice which guarantees valid UTF-8 data

  - A `Vec` is a heap-allocated collection of values that can have dynamic size

  - `Vec`s take a type parameter to indicate which type they contain

  - A `String` is a thin wrapper around a `Vec<u8>`

  - You can slice up a slice using slice syntax
