This free online course teaches how to code high-performance, secure programs using the Rust programming language.

The use of the Rust programming language has grown dramatically over the years, owing to its adoption by well-known software kingpins such as Firefox, Dropbox, Figma and Cloudflare. It would therefore be an added advantage to learn the Rust Programming language. This course begins with an introduction to the Rust environment. You will learn how to set it up, install an editor to write Rust codes and learn the language fundamentals that will aid your understanding of Rust programming.

Rust data structures are similar to those found in C++ and C#. This course teaches you how to store data in Rust and determine allocated memory. Learn about variable scope and how different Rust programs affect the stack and heap, a memory management area. We will also demonstrate shadowing and conditionals, loops, pattern matching, option <T>, structs and enumeration. Finally, learn how to create ‘crates’ in Rust, learn string slicing and manipulation and the concepts of ownership and borrowing.

Rust distinguishes itself from its competitors by emphasising security, exceptional performance, tooling and a community that is constantly working to improve the language. This course is an excellent prospect for beginners interested in programming without prior knowledge or idea of where to start. It will set you apart from the crowd by assisting you in mastering Rust programming. Enrol today and be ready to code with Rust, a cutting-edge coding language.
