Kickstart Rust Programming in a Day

Description:

Rust is one of fastest growing programming languages that is used by several companies to develop web browsers, game development, blockchain, networking and networking services, cloud infrastructure and much more. In this one-day course is designed to provide participants with a rapid introduction to Rust programming language. It covers essential concepts and practical skills required to get started with Rust development. Students will write/examine Rust code to understand the data types, control structures, memory management, error handling and many other features of Rust programming language.
