Course Overview

Rust

Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety — all without a garbage collector. This course covers the entire language from first principles: ownership and borrowing, the type system, traits and generics, macros, concurrency and async, FFI, performance, and the modern 2024 edition — every topic explained on its own page, with runnable examples and real compiler output.
