Elevate your Rust programming expertise and dive into web server development with this comprehensive course. You’ll begin by solidifying your understanding of Rust through a crash course that covers intermediate to advanced concepts, including enums, structs, traits, lifetimes, and smart pointers. Each section is packed with practical coding exercises designed to reinforce your learning and ensure you can apply Rust's powerful features in real-world scenarios.
Once you’ve mastered Rust, the course transitions into web development, where you’ll learn to build a web server using Actix Web, a high-performance framework that simplifies building scalable web applications. From setting up your project and defining data structures to implementing full CRUD operations and securing user authentication, you’ll gain hands-on experience in creating a robust web server. You’ll also explore advanced topics like managing state with Mutex, handling async API calls, and integrating a database. By the end of this course, you’ll have a deep understanding of intermediate Rust programming and the practical skills needed to build and deploy high-performance web servers. Whether you’re looking to enhance your web development capabilities or advance your career as a Rust developer, this course will provide you with the tools to succeed. This course is ideal for developers with basic Rust knowledge who want to advance their skills and learn web server development. It’s perfect for those aiming to build robust, scalable applications using Rust and Actix Web. Prerequisites include familiarity with Rust basics and an interest in web development.
In this module, we will establish a solid foundation in Rust basics. You'll create your first Rust project, learn to handle fixed-size and dynamic-sized variables, and dive into basic collections like arrays and vectors. Additionally, we'll explore closures, number literals, raw strings, and work with binary data at a low level. The module concludes with an overview of the Rust standard library, equipping you with essential tools and knowledge for efficient coding.
