Rust for Absolute Beginners: Learn Rust in 4 Hours

Description

Rust is a language that is made for the future. It brings in lessons from every single programming language of the last 30-40 years and puts forward a new way of writing memory-safe programs. Rust focuses on one thing: writing code that doesn't crash and is memory-safe. It is a programmer's dream as it helps you write safe code. This course is for anyone and everyone looking to enter the world of Rust. You need to have zero programming experience to start learning with this course. You don't need any background in computer science as well. The lectures are made with beginners in mind. The goal of this course is not to teach you everything that is there in Rust. That will take forever. Hence, the goal is to make you someone who has a solid understanding of the foundations of Rust. By the end of the course, you can go out and progress in the world of Rust on your own.
