The Rust Programming Language

im prinzip ganz gut, allerdings werden ab der mitte viele konzepte nicht erkl rt, teilweise code verwendet der m hsam nachzubauen ist um berhaupt den aktuellen part nachvollziehen zu k nnen und der kurs war offensichtlich urspr nglich anders strukturiert. sehr gut fand ich die erl uterung zu zirkul ren referenzen bzw die l sungsans tze

Mostly good for an overview. If you have a C and Haskell background the only new concepts you will encounter are the lifetime / borrowing concepts. If you don’t have a background from other languages where you are not already familiar with the concepts this course will be hard to follow IMO. This course did its job as a good survey over the language but I will definitely need other sources and practice before I feel comfortable in the language. There are no exercises, quizzes, or anything like that to give you some practice. The sections on lifetime concepts and especially circular references was very hard to follow and I basically gave up and determined I might revisit it later after I am more familiar with the lifetime concepts.

This course is great for beginners, unfortunately its syntax kinda old, but the concepts are still there. I would recommend it to anyone trying to learn Rust. Could use some more code examples.

Informative, dense and entertaining

Should have talked much deeper about Cargo as a command and what it can do. Generally, as rust can be a fairly confusing language for new people or people coming from languages like JS, Ruby, etc…I found that this video didn’t go in depth enough in each section. The examples provided are fine, but there aren’t nearly enough. I was shocked to see how short the Generics section was. There is also some misinformation in this course. Specifically regarding how borrowing works in the Closures chapter. It’s clear the instructor has a lot of experience, but not enough experience in Rust and should have consulted the Rust books while making these lessons. Some lessons it’s sounds like he’s guessing while coding, which maybe this is just me, feels bad for beginner lessons. He even referred to structs as a class, which although I could see that happening, is not the proper terminology in Rust and may even confuse people.

Coming only from VBA programming experience this subject is exciting to learn and the depth the teacher is going into with the cmd line and file structure is really cool!

Well paced and well done. Good overview of syntax. There were a few things that could have used a bit more explanation or a little more depth. I am trying to confirm is some concepts that are similar to other languages use different names in Rust or if they were wrong in the lecture (like certain functional programming concepts).

I’m disappointed that the rust version he’s using is 1.5 (when I bought the course the current rust version was at least 1.30 (currently 1.42).

No complaints.

Nice course. Hopefully there’ll be an updated version soon.

I deeply appreciated Dimitri s way of teaching in the Design Patterns in Go, as I think here, he should pay more attention on better explaining some whys on the language. This course must be improved a lot adding details and must be totally designed on a different way, some feedback: The lifetime and memory part is explained in rush without any reference on why it works like this, this is reflected also on how it explains why you should use when you reference counting objects contained on collections. I think you should explain Ownership and Borrowing before Traits and Cargo Management before everything, people should know in advance how to manage modules and why and how to compile and organize the code. Testing is 1 minute at the end of the course, think this truly a bad course design decision, considering how important is TDD and TCR today. In general is a good course but only you want to have an introduction to Rust. Hope you will improve this soon.

Great course. Love the instructor’s voice narrating the videos. Good content for beginning Rust developers. All the lessons are live coding, which is a great way to learn. Highly recommend this course. Good overall introduction to Rust.

I could learn the basics of Rust, and I feel like I can understand Rust code now, and start producing my own code with it.

This course is a useful walkthrough of key features of the Rust language, but it also leaves some parts out. It never actually explains macros, for example. As a programmer experienced with other languages that share some syntax with Rust, and someone experienced with C/C++ (so I get pointers and references) the course made a lot of sense, and I went through it at an accelerated pace. I am not so sure this course would be a good choice for a beginning programmer. To be fair. I’m not sure Rust is a great language to learn programming on, either. (Not because of its features and conventions, which are great, but because of its closeness to bare metal compute, which is complicated.) I wish more of the later (and more advanced) course chapters had resources / example code to download. I found the attachments provided with the earlier sections to be useful as reference material and saved nearly all of them, then started wishing I was still getting them for in later sections. Overall, I found this course a great value for the price I paid, which was a standard Udemy sale price. I would have been disappointed in what I got in terms of presentation and content if I had paid the full list price. Again, though, that’s true of a lot of (but not all!) Udemy content.

Great introduction to Rust. A beginner will need to have a working knowledge of information theory, how computing works at the most basic level, and some knowledge on a previous language like C, C++, or even Python. Rust naturally has a steep learning curve. If you are willing to spend some time following rabbit holes to learn about computing on a bit level or logic gates, learning Rust will flow out of natural curiosity. If you need a language for a job, stick to python.
