The Complete Rust Course: From Beginner to Advanced

The Complete Rust Course: From Beginner to Advanced free download

Master Rust including ownership, structs, enums, crates, traits, modules, collections, threads, lifetimes and Rocket.

Welcome to the most complete Rust course on Udemy! in this course we will start with the basics of Rust and cover all Rust advanced topics including multi-threading and web development.

This course is also very practical and not a theoretical course, after each section you will apply what you have learnt by solving a quiz and also working on a real world project that covers the topics you learnt during the section.

By the end of this course, you'll be ready to start professionally working with Rust to build production-grade command-line and web apps.

Topics covered in the course:

• Rust Basics

• Ownership in Rust

• Structs

• Enums

• Smart Pointers

• Modules and Crates

• Collections

• Error Handling

• Lifetimes

• Concurrency and Multi-threading

• Web Development in Rust using Rocket

Hands-on practice is the core of this course. You’ll build:

• Grade Calculator (Fundamentals)

• Contacts Book (Structs & Ownership)

• Task Manager CLI (Enums, Traits, HashMaps, Modules, Error Handling)

• Sensors Dashboard

• Pastebin APIs

These projects are designed to solidify each Rust concept and give you usable tools for your portfolio.

Who This Course Is For

• Absolute beginners to Rust or systems programming

• Developers coming from C++, Python, Go, or JavaScript

• Anyone interested in learning memory-safe, performant application design

• Students or engineers preparing for low-level or backend engineering roles

Tools You’ll Use

• Rust and Cargo

• VSCode or any text editor

• CLI-based development (great for real-world applications)

By the End of This Course you’ll be able to:

• Understand and apply ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes

• Use structs, enums, and traits effectively

• Handle errors gracefully with Option and Result

• Work with modules, crates, and collections

• Publish crates

• Understand concurrency and multi-threading in Rust

• Build web apps using Rocket and Rust

• Build, test, and structure full Rust applications
