Vendor: Cloud Contraptions
Format: Live instructor-led
Duration: 5 days of comprehensive training
Transitioning from Python to Rust? This course offers Python developers a structured pathway to understand and master the Rust programming language. We delve deep into Rust's memory safety guarantees, its concurrency model, and how it contrasts with Python's dynamic nature. By the end of the course, you'll be equipped to build efficient, safe, and concurrent applications in Rust, all while leveraging your Python expertise.
Learning Objectives Understand the Rust Philosophy Set Up and Navigate the Rust Environment Explore Rust within the context of Python Grasp Basic Rust Syntax and Semantics Learn Control Flow and Logic Learn Ownership and Borrowing Concepts Utilize Tuples, Enums, Structs, and Vectors Employ Pattern Matching Harness Rust's Concurrency Model Create Custom Macros Write Rust Tests Create Documentation with Rustdoc Training Materials
All students receive comprehensive courseware covering all topics in the course. Courseware is distributed via GitHub in the form of documentation and extensive code samples. Students practice the topics covered through challenging hands-on lab exercises.
Software Requirements
Students will need a free, personal GitHub account to access the courseware. Student will need permission to install Rust, Python, and Visual Studio Code on their computers. Also, students will need permission to install Rust Crates, Python Packages, and Visual Studio Extensions. If students are unable to configure a local environment, a cloud-based environment can be provided.
