This course aims to teach learners how to program in Rust through bite-sized tutorials. By the end of the course, students will be able to write Rust code, understand Rust syntax, work with different data types, control flow, collections, iterators, traits, lifetimes, and concurrency concepts. The course uses a hands-on approach with practical examples and exercises to reinforce learning. It is suitable for beginners who have little to no experience with Rust or programming in general and are looking to build a strong foundation in Rust programming.
