Course Description

The Rust programming language makes it possible to build fast reliable code, prevents segfaults, and guarantees memory safety, even while working across concurrent processes.

The course is split into seven parts, which give you a complete overview of why Rust is a great programming language. In the first couple of days, you’ll learn to install Rust on your system, discover its syntax, and see a library that utilizes the feature of trait-based generics and code reusability. 

On days 3 and 4, you’ll understand how Rust Lifetimes work by doing extensive compiler checking and learn to make your programs more interactive by accessing all the bits of the Rust environment. On day 5, you’ll learn about multithreading without data races with safe concurrency. Day 6, you’ll create a database, using your code to read and update while securing it with Bcrypt from various breaches such as SQL injection attacks. 

By the end of the course, you’ll have built a mini-bank application that tracks users’ financial transactions over time, allowing them to view their history over time.

About the Author

This course has a great flow. Especially useful to me are the discussions of various optional methods to solve problems. I have started focusing on the various solutions as presented and adding them as comments in my classroom code. This takes a little time but I have already found this is great reference material on day 1.

By John Hight on 2/12/2022

The assignments were vague, and with nothing written on what to do, I had to play the video and look at the finished code to understand what was needed.

By Antonio Pedrazzini on 3/29/2020

Some things are not explained well or really at all. You have to go to the Rust Book and other sources to find an explanation for understanding what he's doing. This hinders the learning progress and breaks the flow...

By Gary Mathis on 12/5/2019

This is WAAAAY too fast for someone starting out on Rust. I'm a software engineer full time, wanting to pick up rust so I can dive into systems programming, but even as an experienced developer, I find it hard to follow because you see him type something on the screen for a split second without any explanation of what the language is doing for you behind the scenes.

By Michaël Chlon on 10/17/2019

Examples are not interesting at all. A lot of things are not explained well: just put as is. Avoid this course if you want to understand clearly Rust. Disappointing. I will have to buy another course ... :(

By Matthew Younger on 7/12/2019

Yeah. So far, it seems like a good match. I've taken C++ in college, but didn't 'really' learn that much. Not like I'd hoped to. Here I am, looking to do some dev work, and am lacking what I need to get the job done. Rust is here as the new game in town, I'm interested. This guy - so far - is short and sweet, getting right on to what's important to know. Love it!

By Виталије Милошевић on 7/6/2019

Clear explanations, not trivial code examples. The only thing I would change is to allow downloading videos. Some of the videos were almost unwatchable online due to a many stops during the play.

By Kevin Cunningham on 5/25/2019

Was a good, fast-paced introduction to important concepts and features in Rust. At times I felt the instructor glossed over some important details and could have slowed down a little bit to give better explanations. Overall the course was very helpful and informative.

By Srdjan Delic on 5/15/2019

Very good intermediate course for expanding one's Rust knowledge. Not for absolute beginners in this programming language.

By Jeff Gillin on 2/12/2019

Great course so far. Note that this is intermediate course. Don't take this one as your first Rust course. Take a few beginner courses first.
