Grasping fundamental concepts of memory management
Mastering Memory Management
A foundational aspect of Rust, memory management is taught from the ground up:
Ownership and borrowing mechanisms
Understanding slices and string types (str, &str, String)
Creating Custom Data Types
Learn how Rust handles data structures differently from other languages:
Defining and using structs and enums
Working with implementation blocks and pattern matching
Handling data using Option and Result enumerations
Building and Structuring Rust Projects
Organize your code efficiently and share your work:
Project structure overview and the module system
Managing dependencies and conditional compilation
Publishing your projects on Crates.io
Writing Reliable Code with Testing & Documentation
Ensure your code is robust and well-documented:
Creating unit and integration tests
Best practices for test structure and documentation
Achieving Polymorphism with Generics and Traits
Rust’s alternative to classical inheritance:
Defining generics and understanding traits
Navigating trait boundaries, supertraits, and dispatching
Using traits from Rust’s standard library
Advanced Memory Management & Lifetimes
Deepen your understanding of Rust’s memory safety:
Concrete and generic lifetime annotations
Working with smart pointers and deref coercion
Error Handling in Rust
Develop resilient applications by mastering Rust’s approach to errors:
Generating and handling errors
