Backend & Systems: Rust

The Rust option of the Backend & Systems track: ownership, traits, error handling and real projects from CLI tools to web services.

Rust: Fundamentals with CargoInstall Rust with rustup, drive every project with cargo, and learn the core language: immutable by default, shadowing, types, expression-bodied functions, loops, and exhaustive match.45 minintermediate
Rust: Ownership & BorrowingThe heart of Rust: every value has exactly one owner, assignment moves it, references borrow it under two compile-time rules, and String and &str are two different tools for text.50 minadvanced
Rust: Structs, Enums, Traits & ErrorsRust's modeling toolkit: structs with impl blocks and associated functions, enums whose variants carry data, exhaustive pattern matching, traits and generics with derive, and error handling built on Result, the ? operator, and custom error types.50 minadvanced
Rust: Collections, Generics & LifetimesThe data structures real Rust programs run on - Vec, HashMap, and lazy iterator chains with map, filter, and collect - plus an honest look at String's UTF-8 bytes and the lifetimes that keep borrowed references provably valid.45 minadvanced
Rust Capstone — Build Real ProjectsTwo real projects close the Rust track: a persistent todo CLI built on std, serde, and Result end to end, then the same data behind an axum and tokio JSON API - with tests, toolchain discipline, shipping milestones, and honest limits.75 minadvanced
