The course gives students an introduction to the main elements of the Rust programming language, utilizing AI to accelerate learning, debugging, and code writing.
The aim is to teach participants the fundamental understanding of language features such as: abstraction and basic elements of language needed for writing programs with Rust, ownership concept, concurrency, smart pointers, data types and object-oriented capabilities, developing unit tests, and package management. Throughout the course, modern AI tools will be integrated to actively assist students with comprehending complex paradigms, debugging strict compiler errors, and writing idiomatic code. The main goal of the course is to equip students with fundamental knowledge required for designing and developing safe and efficient code in system and low-level applications as well as client-server applications and microservices.
Course Topics:
- Abstraction and basic elements of language, utilizing AI to accelerate syntax learning and code generation.
- Understanding ownership.
- Source code organization and management.
- Concurrency and smart pointers, aided by AI for safe and efficient code writing.
- Unit testing, leveraging AI to rapidly generate comprehensive test cases and debug implementations.
Requirements
Software: Any IDE eligible for Rust programming, and access to modern AI code generation and chat tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot).
Hardware: Computer with an Internet connection, working speakers, and microphone.
Prior knowledge: Students should have basic knowledge of programming, being able to write simple programs in some programming language, build them and run them in a development environment.
