Course objectives
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the Rust programming language and the benefits it brings to the system programming or to the development of reliable, secure and efficient services. In addition to the syntax of the language itself, the course will introduce students to the commonly used libraries used in Rust and the best practices for development.
Learning outcomes
Students that pass this course will be able to:
- Utilize the syntax of the Rust programming language.
- Write idiomatic Rust code.
- Understand the benefits of system programming in Rust.
- Use the Rust standard library.
- Familiarize themselves with any rustdoc documentation.
- Use common Rust libraries for developing backend and frontend applications.
