Course at a glance
The lecture walks polyglot engineers through Rust’s mental model fast: starting with ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes before layering on async, tooling, and patterns for safe systems programming. I built it as a 3-hour live session for postgraduate students and industry teams who needed a practical, opinionated introduction.
Format and tooling
- Live-coding exercises anchored in Cargo workspaces and unit tests so attendees see feedback loops in action.
- Slides contrast Rust idioms with C++/Python equivalents, making it easier to spot when to lean on enums, pattern matching, or zero-cost abstractions.
- Demos showcase how the borrow checker enforces invariants and how to reach for
async/awaitwithout fighting the compiler.
In the works
I’m capturing the lecture as a recorded series with companion labs. The repo already hosts the slide deck, code samples, and facilitator notes; the video release is next so folks can self-pace the content.
