Rust for Beginners

Learn the basics of Rust from scratch with hands-on activities, demos, and real-world examples. Build confidence with functions, control flow, data types, ownership, and more.

What you'll learn

• Get Rust up and running fast with tools that help you catch mistakes early
• Discover how to use variables and data types to bring your code to life
• Write your own functions to keep things tidy and make coding way easier
• Use if/else and match to teach your program how to make decisions
• Loop like a pro and save yourself from writing the same thing twice
• Build cool, organized data using enums, structs, and tuples
• Crack the code on ownership so your programs run fast and safe
• Play with text and lists using strings and vectors in fun, hands-on ways

If you’re curious about Rust and not sure where to begin, this course is your launchpad. Whether you’ve got some coding experience or you’re brand new to the world of programming, we’ll guide you through the essentials of Rust in a clear, approachable way.

Plus you'll quickly see why Rust is one of the most beloved programming languages in the tech world!

We start with the basics: setting up your tools, writing your first functions, and getting comfortable with Rust’s syntax. From there, you’ll dive into real programming concepts—variables, control flow, loops, and more—paired with interactive activities that help lock in what you’re learning.

As you progress, you'll get a solid grip on Rust’s powerful memory model, understand how ownership works, and practice using structs, enums, and vectors in practical ways.

This course is all about giving you confidence in your Rust skills, so you can start building real applications—or take the next step in your tech career.
