Welcome to Rust Basics in 30 Days!

Rust is a systems programming language that provides memory safety, concurrency, and performance without a garbage collector. This course is designed to take you from a curious developer to a confident Rustacean.

Why Learn Rust?

Rust has been voted the “most loved language” in Stack Overflow’s developer survey for years. It combines the performance of C/C++ with the safety of modern high-level languages.

  • Memory Safety: Rust’s compiler prevents common bugs like null pointer dereferences and data races.
  • Zero-cost Abstractions: Use high-level features without a performance penalty.
  • Fearless Concurrency: Build multi-threaded applications without the typical headaches.
  • Modern Tooling: Cargo (Rust’s package manager) is widely considered one of the best in the industry.

Curriculum at a Glance

  • Week 1: Rust Fundamentals - Syntax, types, functions, and the “Rust way” of thinking.
