What you'll learn

Learning a low-level programming language is usually classified as very difficult. Things like pointers, memory management, and a whole host of other systems development shenanigans can make learning languages like Rust quite challenging. In this course, Rust 2021 Fundamentals, you’ll learn how to write simple, safe, and efficient Rust code. First, you’ll explore Rust syntax, data types, and control flow. Next, you’ll discover how to take the hassle out of memory management with ownership and borrowing. Finally, you’ll learn how to structure your Rust programs simply and effectively as well as manage concurrency. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Rust fundamentals needed to start creating your own programs and applications using the Rust programming language.
