Welcome to Rust, the complete developer's guide.
Rust is unlike any other programming
language out there.
Why?
Let me see if I can convince you that learning Rust might be one of the best
decisions you will make.
Ready?
OK.
Rust has been voted as the number one
most loved programming language year after year after year after year.
But who cares if Joe Schmoe likes it?
Is it useful?
Do people even use Rust?
Do you benefit from it?
Think of it this way.
A programming language usually has some
trade -offs.
There are languages like C or C++, which
are low -level languages that are designed for speed and power, but at the
cost of safety.
Then there's languages like Python or
JavaScript, that are high -level languages that tend to be safer, but at
the cost of that power and speed.
With Rust, you get both.
It's a low -level systems language like C or C++, but much better because of the
safety it has in place.
If all programming languages had a love
child, that language will probably be Rust.
And Rust is growing in popularity like
crazy, because it's so clearly useful.
Although it was only created in 2006,
it's getting massively adopted by large organizations looking to write powerful
and safe programs.
You can take this course if you're
completely new to programming.
We made it very beginner -friendly.
But if you already know another language, this course works for you as well.
If you're a C or C++ programmer looking for a safer alternative, or a high -level
language programmer like Python or JavaScript, and wants to get into a low
-level language, this course is for you as well.
Data structures, Rust tooling, utilizing the Rust ecosystem, and efficiently
creating Rust applications.
We teach you everything you need to call
yourself a Rust programmer and add this skill to your resume by the end of this course.
You'll go from zero to mastery, by coding along, doing exercises, and building
useful projects together.
Finally, your instructor Jason Lennon is
a seasoned veteran when it comes to software engineering.
And he has been working with Rust programs for many, many years, and is
also certified in different fields like security and networking.
So he will be teaching you to think like a top -level programmer.
