This is a four day Rust course developed by the Android team. The course covers the full spectrum of Rust, from basic syntax to advanced topics like generics and error handling. It also includes Android-specific content on the last day.

The goal of the course to teach you Rust. We assume you don’t know anything about Rust and hope to

On Day 4, we will cover Android-specific things such as

Rust is a large language and we won’t be able to cover all it in a few days. Some non-goals of this course are:

The course assumes that you already know how to program. Rust is a statically typed language and we will sometimes make comparisons with C and C++ to better explain or contrast the Rust approach.

If you know how to program in a dynamically typed language such as Python or JavaScript, then you will be able to follow along just fine too.
