# Learn Rust, one exercise at a time
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You've heard about Rust, but you never had the chance to try it out?
|
||
|
|
This course is for you!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll go from knowing nothing about Rust to feeling productive on your own in roughly 100 exercises.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|

## Audience
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This course is designed for people who have basic familiarity with at least another programming language
|
||
|
|
(e.g. Python, JavaScript, Java, C++, etc.), but have never written any Rust code before.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to the variety of backgrounds, we won't assume any prior knowledge of systems programming or low-level languages.
|
||
|
|
Approach the relevant exercises as a refresher if you've already been exposed to some of those topics in the past!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Self-paced
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This course is designed to be delivered by an experienced instructor over 4 days: each attendee advances through the
|
||
|
|
lessons at their own pace, with the instructor providing guidance, answering questions and diving deeper into the topics
|
||
|
|
as needed.
|
||
|
|
As a rule of thumb: if you're stuck on an exercise for more than 10 minutes, ask for help!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also try to go through the course on your own, although we recommend having someone to ask questions to if you
|
||
|
|
get stuck.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Rust** (follow instructions [here](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)).
|
||
|
|
If `rustup` is already installed on your system, run `rustup update` (or another appropriate command depending on how
|
||
|
|
you installed Rust on your system)
|
||
|
|
to make your running on the latest version.
|
||
|
|
- `mdbook`, to render the course material.
|
||
|
|
You can install it with `cargo install --locked mdbook`.
|
||
|
|
- _(Optional but recommended)_ An IDE with Rust autocompletion support.
|
||
|
|
We recommend one of the following:
|
||
|
|
- [RustRover](https://www.jetbrains.com/rust/);
|
||
|
|
- [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com) with
|
||
|
|
the [`rust-analyzer`](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad.rust-analyzer) extension.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
