Explore pointers and references in Rust by comparing primitive arrays with vectors, and learn how references via the ampersand allow sharing data without moving the value.
Explore Rust structs, including traditional and tuple forms, and how to instantiate them. Use impl and methods to define education data, access fields, and update values.
Explore enums as building blocks for Rust types, including IP address kind with v4 or v6, storing data inside variants, and using option and match expressions.
Learn to include multiple files in a Rust project by creating a new file, exposing pub functions, and calling them from the main file with mod and cargo run.
Wraps up the Rust for Beginners course, recapping fundamentals, referencing the Rust book, and outlining future Rust projects and a full book series for continued learning.
Join Space Systems Programming Engineer and Cambridge Mathematics Graduate, Ellie Sleightholm, for a fun, engaging and guided beginner tutorial series of the programming language, Rust!
*PART THREE OF THREE*
This free course is made up of 3 parts. This course allows you to learn the fundamental aspects of Rust through guided and well-explained videos, targeted exercises and projects for each aspect of the programming language. This course has everything you need to get started programming and creating projects in Rust. To begin with, you'll learn why Rust is such a prominent and popular programming language to learn in 2023. The course then walks you through downloading, installing and creating a nice set up. From here, the basics of the programming language are taught including cargo tools, variables, constants, shadowing, data types, functions and much more. Finally, the more advances aspects of Rust are taught. That is, enums and structs which are the building blocks to Rust. The exercises are then designed to test yourself on what you've learnt!
It's no surprise that Rust was voted the most loved programming languages in 2022 and has been for seven consecutive years! Rust actually tied with Python as the most wanted technology in 2022. Rust is an awesome programming language and is heavily sought after in the world of tech. Join this course and learn all about the wonders of Rust!
