Learn to write fast, low-level code without fear in RustAbout This VideoDiscover Rust's powerful type system, which prevents data races and memory corruptionBuild concurrent applications without fearTake advantage of the large ecosystem of libraries available through CargoIn DetailRust is a new systems programming language from Mozilla, created to facilitate the development of large, complex software projects. Its powerful type system and memory safety rules prevent all memory corruption bugs without compromising developer productivity.In this course, you'll begin by getting familiar with the basic syntax and concepts of Rust, from writing a Hello World program to defining functions and creating variables. Then you'll see how to manage toolchains with Rust up and build your first command-line program.Moving on, you'll explore Rust's type system to write better code and put it into practice in a simple markup language. You'll learn to use Rust's functional programming features to perform a physics simulation and use the Rayon crate to parallelize your computations. Finally, you'll discover the best practices and test your code by building a simple crate with a tested, usable, well-documented API using Cargo and RustDoc.By the end of the video, you'll be comfortable building various solutions in Rust. You'll be able to take advantage of Rust's powerful type system and a rich ecosystem of libraries, or “crates”, available through the Cargo package manager.The code bundle for this video course is also available on Github: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Learning-Rust-video Show and hide more Publisher resources Download Example Code
