Rust Exercises
by Mainmatter
Level up your Rust, one exercise at a time
You can learn only so much by reading books or watching videos. To truly master a new programming language, such as Rust, you need to practice. A lot.
That's where our courses come in: they blend theory and practice, forcing you to write code to solve tailor-made exercises while you get familiar with the theory behind them.
Go through "100 Exercises to Learn Rust". It will teach you Rust's core concepts, one exercise at a time. You'll learn about Rust's syntax, its type system, its standard library, and its ecosystem.
The course doesn't assume any prior knowledge of Rust, but it assumes you know at least another programming language. It also doesn't assume any prior knowledge of systems programming or memory management. Those topics will be covered in the course.
In other words, you'll be starting from scratch! You'll build up your Rust knowledge in small, manageable steps. By the end of the course, you will have solved ~100 exercises, enough to feel comfortable working on small to medium-sized Rust projects.
Beyond the basics: masterclasses
Learning the language is just the beginning. To become productive with Rust you need to learn how to leverage its ecosystem
That's where the masterclasses come in. They focus on a specific topic and dive deep into it, retaining the same exercise-driven approach of the beginner course.
At the moment, we offer these masterclasses:
Attend a public workshop
From time to time, we also organize public workshops.
Public workshops are the ideal solution for independent developers and small teams: it's enough to buy a ticket to join!
