Become a Rust Developer in 1 Day

Learn Rust step-by-step with practical projects. Master ownership, structs, enums, error handling, collections, and more. Perfect for aspiring systems programmers.

Course Overview

Rust is one of the most powerful and safe systems programming languages in the world. This course will take you from complete beginner to confident Rust developer, using real-world projects and a structured curriculum.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build production-grade command-line apps using Rust’s powerful features like ownership, structs, enums, traits, modules, and error handling.

Whether you’re aiming for embedded systems, game dev, backend services, or performance-critical applications, this course will equip you with essential, modern Rust skills.
