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

  - Traits define behavior that can be implemented by many different types

  - You can put restrictions on type parameters by adding trait bounds

  - Trait bounds can be added for functions, impl blocks, and more

  - The `Display` trait is used by `println!`, `format!`, and related macros

  - A number of common traits can be derived, so you don’t have to write them by hand

  - `Clone` is a derivable trait that lets you make a copy

  - `Copy` is a derivable marker trait that tells the compilr, “It’s really cheap to clone"

  - `Debug` is a derivable trait that produces output useful for debugging your code

  - `PartialEq` and `Eq` control the `==` and `!=` operators

  - `PartialOrd` and `Ord` control the four other comparison operators

  - In order to use a trait, the trait must be in scope

  - You can bring a trait into scope with `use`

  - You can place multiple bounds on a type parameter by using `+`

  - Traits can define associated types
