Course Overview

What you will learn
  • How to build command line utilities in Rust

  • Value of a modern, compiled, statically typed language

  • Differences between JavaScript and Rust idioms

  • What problems Rust is particularly good for

In this course, you'll learn practical, project-based programming with Rust, specifically tailored for someone who understands JavaScripts.

Learning Rust can be daunting for a JavaScript developer because of differences like manual memory management, the compilation toolchain, the syntax, strong types and more.

While Rust has many great learn resources, like the staple The Rust Programming Language book, they often lacks specifics for developers coming from interpreted languages like JavaScript.

In Rust for JavaScript Developers you will learn:

  • the fundamentals of Rust
  • practical Rust project knowledge and
  • what the analogues are coming from JavaScript.

You'll get comfortable with developing in a new, challenging language and its environment.

We'll use the Rust std library to make simple but non-trivial command line applications, and be empowered to read and understand the technical Rust documentation on your own.

You'll understand the fundamentals of Rust syntax and tools like Iterators, pattern matching, structs, impls, and return types, and be able to use those in your programs.

You will also be able to draw on your understanding of JavaScript to augment and better grok these new Rust concepts and ease Rust's notorious learning curve.
