This repository has the source code for Comprehensive Rust 🦀, a multi-day Rust course developed by the Android team. The course covers all aspects of Rust, from basic syntax to generics and error handling. It also includes deep dives on Android, bare-metal, and concurrency.
Read the course at https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/.
The course is used internally at Google when teaching Rust to experienced software engineers. They typically have a background in C++ or Java.
The course is taught in a classroom setting and we hope it will be useful for others who want to teach Rust to their team. The course will be less useful for self-study since you miss out on the discussions happening in the classroom. You don't see the questions and answers and you don't see the compiler errors we trigger when going through the code samples. We hope to improve on this via speaker notes and by publishing videos.
The course is built using a few tools:
Install these tools with:
$ cargo install mdbook
$ cargo install mdbook-svgbob
$ cargo install mdbook-i18n-helpers
$ cargo install --path mdbook-exerciserThen run
$ mdbook testto test all included Rust snippets. Run
$ mdbook serveto start a web server with the course. You'll find the content on
http://localhost:3000. You can use mdbook build to create a static version
of the course in the book/ directory. Note that you have to separately build
and zip exercises and add them to book/html.
