Rust Crash Course

A simple collection of lessons that I used to get started with the Rust Programming language.

Setup Rust on your machine

If you already have Rust setup, you can skip this section.

Windows: https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe

MacOS/Linux/WSL: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

WSL means Windows Subsystem for Linux

For more information, check out the Rust installation guide.

Setup locally

If you wish to setup the project locally, you can clone the repositories and follow the guide below to run each lesson and create new ones.

Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/geekygeeky/rust-full-course

Run each lesson

To run a lesson, just navigate into the directory and use the make run command. This would compile the lesson using the Rust compiler and also run the lesson.

Example

If you want to run the 1_primivitive_data_types lesson. Use the command below.

# We are currently inside the `rust-full-course` directory
$ make run p=1_primivitive_data_types

Create new lesson

To create a lesson, make sure you are in the root directory then run the make run p=<new-lesson> command. This would create the barebones of what you need to get started running your lessons.

Replace <new-lesson> with your desired lesson name, e.g. make run p=rust-db-lesson

Acknowledgement

This repo is inspired by a Youtube course on Rust, you can check out the video if you would like to follow up each lesson with a video.
