Rust Fundamentals

• An understanding of basic programming concepts
• Experience with at least one programming language (preferrably C or C++)

Audience

• Developers

Rust is a modern systems-level programming language known for its memory safety, concurrency, and performance. 

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner to intermediate-level developers who are new to Rust and wish to build a solid foundation in the language.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand Rust's features and architecture.
• Set up the development environment.
• Write basic Rust programs.
• Integrate Rust with existing codebases.
• Troubleshoot common issues.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
