A hands-on Rust course for working developers. You write small programs, the compiler gives you feedback, and after a couple of dozen exercises you start to get the hang of it.
This is an official course repository by corrode, a Rust consultancy that helps teams adopt Rust in production.
The course runs primarily through the website, which walks you through each chapter, shows the exercises in your browser, and tracks your progress. That's the recommended way to take it.
You can start alone or with a team. If you're taking it with a team, you can share your progress with each other by submitting your solutions and seeing other people's solutions. The course is designed to be self-paced, so you can work through it at your own speed, so no rush!
If you'd rather stay in your editor, remember that this is also just a regular Rust project!
You can clone it, open it in any IDE, and work through the exercises under examples/.
Each chapter is a numbered directory under examples/. Work through its .md prose and .rs exercises in filename order. Replace the todo!() bodies in the exercise files and run the tests until they pass. The chapter's generated main.rs only connects the steps for Cargo, so don't edit it directly.
If you get stuck, there's a sample solution for every exercise under solutions/. It mirrors the chapter and filename layout under examples/. These are the same solutions the website reveals in its hints.
The workflow is roughly:
git clone https://github.com/corrode/course.git
cd course
# Edit examples/00_integers/3_add_health.rs, then test the whole chapter:
cargo test --example 00_integers
# Or run just that step's tests:
cargo test --example 00_integers _3_add_health::corrode helps teams adopt Rust in production: training, code reviews, and architecture work. If you'd like a workshop or a review of your codebase, get in touch.
