Rust Crash Course
Build Real Projects (and Your Self-Esteem) in Rust
Rust is one of the fastest-growing languages, but learning it alone can be frustrating. I remember staring at a lifetime error and wondering what I was doing with my own lifetime. This course is what I wish I'd had.
This 5-session crash course is designed to help you:
Master Rust fundamentals without getting lost in theory
Build three real projects to solidify your skills
Get personalized guidance so you don’t waste time stuck on confusing errors
