00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:07,830
- Hello and welcome

2
00:00:07,830 --> 00:00:10,260
to the Rust Programming Essentials Course.

3
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:11,490
I'm Andy Olsen,

4
00:00:11,490 --> 00:00:13,740
and I'll be your instructor
for our detailed journey

5
00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:15,690
through the wonderful world of Rust.

6
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:17,010
Rust is one of the most powerful

7
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:19,830
and interesting programming
languages I've ever encountered.

8
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:22,920
It combines the efficiency,
speed, and low level power

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,190
of C and C++, but the benefits
of high level languages

10
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:28,173
such as Java, Python, and C#

11
00:00:29,010 --> 00:00:31,620
and you can use it to implement
all kinds of solutions,

12
00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:34,800
including embedded
systems, web applications,

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,104
large scale data analytics,
and much more besides.

14
00:00:38,104 --> 00:00:41,790
This course teaches you the
essentials for learning Rust,

15
00:00:41,790 --> 00:00:43,800
so you can quickly get started.

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,400
We'll begin by learning
Rust Programming Essentials,

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,240
and then jump into

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,003
how Rust manages object
ownership and borrowing.

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,450
After that, we'll take look
at how to organize the code

20
00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:57,120
into functions and structures,
and then we'll explore

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,040
some advanced Rust programming concepts

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,040
like generics and log threading.

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,390
We'll wrap things up with a couple

24
00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:05,250
of real world hands-on projects

25
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:07,890
so you can get busy
programming for yourself.

26
00:01:07,890 --> 00:01:09,150
The first project will show

27
00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:12,210
how to implement a CSV file parser,

28
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:13,650
and the second project will show how

29
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:16,963
to access a relational
database, which is quite fun.

30
00:01:16,963 --> 00:01:18,930
These projects were designed

31
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:20,730
so you can learn the skills needed

32
00:01:20,730 --> 00:01:23,613
to start using Rust
effectively and efficiently.

33
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:26,190
So before we dive in,

34
00:01:26,190 --> 00:01:29,040
let me say a quick few
quick words about myself.

35
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,410
I'm a freelance developer and instructor.

36
00:01:31,410 --> 00:01:33,540
I live in Swansea in Wales,

37
00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:36,660
and I've been working in it since 1986.

38
00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:38,730
I can't quite believe
it myself to be honest.

39
00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:41,610
I started programming in C and C++,

40
00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:44,040
and I've moved into other
languages over the years.

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,040
Java, C, Python, JavaScript,
TypeScript, and of course Rust.

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,750
When I was learning Rust myself,

43
00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:55,050
it didn't really behave
the way I was expecting.

44
00:01:55,050 --> 00:01:58,043
There were several occasions
where I was genuinely surprised

45
00:01:58,043 --> 00:02:00,330
about how it worked in Rust,

46
00:02:00,330 --> 00:02:04,500
and I began to realize just
how much safer it made my code.

47
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:07,230
It also made me a bit
anxious about all that code

48
00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:10,500
I've been writing in C++
over the last 30 years.

49
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,630
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video series

50
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:15,093
and I hope you also go
to love Rust like I have.
