Course 19 - Ultimate Rust Crash Course | Episode 1: Rust Programming Foundations: From Cargo Tooling to Core Syntax and Modules
In this lesson, you’ll learn about:
You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:
https://linktr.ee/cybercode_academy
- The Rust Ecosystem and Tooling:
- Using Cargo as Rust’s package manager, build system, and documentation tool.
- Creating projects with cargo new, managing dependencies in Cargo.toml, and running code with cargo run.
- Understanding the difference between debug builds and optimized release builds.
- Variables and Constants:
- Declaring variables with let in a strongly typed language with type inference.
- Rust’s default immutability model and using mut for mutable values.
- Defining constants (const) with explicit types and compile-time evaluation.
- Scope and Shadowing:
- How variables are scoped to blocks and automatically dropped when out of scope.
- Using shadowing to redefine variables, including changing their type or mutability.
- Memory Safety Guarantees:
- Rust’s compile-time enforcement of memory safety.
- Prevention of uninitialized variable usage and undefined behavior without relying on a garbage collector.
- Functions and Macros:
- Defining functions with fn and snake_case naming conventions.
- Returning values using tail expressions without a semicolon.
- Distinguishing between functions and macros (e.g., println!).
- The Module System and Code Organization:
- Structuring projects with main.rs for binaries and lib.rs for libraries.
- Managing visibility with private-by-default items and the pub keyword.
- Bringing items into scope with use and integrating external crates.
- Hands-On Practice:
- Reinforcing concepts through guided exercises, including building a command-line program and writing functions to calculate geometric areas and volumes.
