We provide virtual course about Rust Programming. Rust is an intriguing language. Syntactically similar to C++, it offers higher-order language features to simplify important tasks such as memory management, concurrent execution, and safe vs. unsafe execution.
Course description:

What you will learn:
• Creating, building, and running Rust applications
• Organizing Rust code and application structure properly
• Managing memory safely and effectively
• Using object-oriented techniques
• Using functional programming techniques
• Implementing concurrency
