Overview
Prerequisite
The course is for Rust beginners:
You already know how to program, preferably in a statically typed language.
Some knowledge of C or C++ will be helpful since we'll sometimes compare Rust constructs with those languages.
You should not take the go/rust-101 course first since we will cover the same content, plus much more.

This Rust training is for people with no prior Rust experience. The course covers the core of Rust, from basic syntax to advanced topics such as traits, generics, error handling, and memory management.

The course is split over three days, with each day covering increasingly advanced part of the language.

Day 1:

Basic syntax: tuples, structs, enums, and methods
Memory management, ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes
Exercises
Day 2:

Control flow expressions
Pattern matching
Modules and project structure
Important standard library types
Exercises
Day 3:

Traits and generics
Error handling
Testing
Unsafe Rust
Exercises
We have a number of other classes which cover more spezialized topics such as bare-metal Rust, concurrency, and Rust in Android. Please see go/comprehensive-rust-classes
.



Please register your interest with the Session Alert in the bottom-right corner. Contact Martin Geisler
 and Thomas Oertli
 if you would like to schedule a class for your team or if you would like to teach a class yourself. Contact g/comprehensive-rust

 with general questions.



Pre-work
Please install the Rust compiler and the Cargo build system before the course. Follow the instructions on https://rustup.rs/
 for this.

Check that everything worked by running

$ cargo new my-project

$ cd my-project

$ cargo run

If this completes successfully, you'll be all set for the course.
