Rust Fundamentals Online
PLEASE NOTE: This is a LIVE INSTRUCTOR-LED training event delivered ONLINE.
It covers the same scope and content as a scheduled in-person class and delivers comparable learning outcomes.
Rust Fundamentals provides attendees with a full grounding in the Rust programming language. It is sufficient to get you started in your Rust programming journey. The syllabus, examples and exercises are tuned to the practical requirements for embedded software developers.
Workshops and the hands-on interactive coding quizzes that are interlaced with the lecture deliveries, comprise approximately 50% of class time and are based around carefully designed hands-on exercises to reinforce learning. This training class is designed around interactivity and student engagement. Throughout the lectures the students are asked to run code snippets to demonstrate complex concepts, debug and refine provided examples. These various exercises will be achieved using a mix of web-based tools integral to the training material as well as a provided virtual-machine environment that the student will be able to keep post-training to further their experiments with a Rust based embedded software tool-kit.
Please contact Doulos for further information about this training.
Course overview video:
This course is designed as a general introduction to Rust programming.
It is suitable for embedded software engineers who need to gain a working knowledge of the Rust language to build an embedded system.
It is a prerequisite for the follow-on class Rust for Embedded Firmware. Please contact Doulos for further information about this training.
Rust Fundamentals does not assume a prior knowledge of C/C++ or assembly, however this would be an advantage.
Equally, embedded programming experience and microcontroller knowledge is not essential to participate to the training, but useful.
This course is not suitable as a first course in computer programming.
Doulos course materials are renowned for being the most comprehensive and user friendly available. Their unique style, content and coverage has made them sought after resources in their own right. The materials include:
Attendees will also be provided with virtual-machine environment to keep post-training to further their experiments with a Rust-based embedded software tool-kit.
The Virtual Machine (VM) needs to be downloaded and set up on your PC before the course begins. The size of the VM is approximately 9GB so it may take a few minutes to download depending on the internet speed. While configuring the VM, make sure you have at least 23GB of free space on your hard drive. You will get detailed instructions on how to set up the VM as part of the course joining instructions.
Rust Fundamentals will cover the topics below.
Integral to the course are hands-on sessions for almost all topics covered, complemented by a project developed through the course, which integrates the acquired knowledge with a working example that can be used as a basis for real projects.
