This course is designed for beginners and those with some programming experience in either Python or Rust that want to implement automation and utilities in the command-line. Although no prior knowledge of Python or Rust is required, basic programming knowledge is recommended as well as some familiarity with the command-line interface (CLI). Throughout the course, you will gain a solid foundation for building efficient, reliable, and high-performance command-line tools that can help you automate tasks for data engineering, systems engineering, and DevOps. By completing this course, you will have the skills to develop and distribute sophisticated and efficient command-line tools.
This week, you will learn how to create a basic command-line tool in Python and Rust, handle command-line arguments and options, organize code into modules and packages, and implement logging and error handling. You will apply these skills by developing a command-line tool that accepts user input, uses modules to organize code, logs output, and handles errors gracefully. The tool will demonstrate your ability to build a functional CLI program using best practices covered this week.

This week, you will learn how to create command-line tools with subcommands, parse complex arguments, and incorporate environment variables in both Rust and Python. You will apply these skills by developing a fully-featured command-line tool that can handle subcommands, arguments, and environment variables in a user-friendly way. The tool will demonstrate your proficiency in organizing functionality, flexibly handling input, and integrating with the environment in Rust and Python.

his week, you will learn how to explore advanced PyO3 features such as handling exceptions, custom conversions, and utilizing attributes. You'll also delve into the best practices for mixing Rust and Python, and understand how Rust can be leveraged for CPU-bound operations in Python. Furthermore, you'll begin the process of converting Python scripts into command-line tools using Rust, and familiarize yourself with error handling and logging in Rust CLI applications. To apply what you've learned, you'll be assessed through a series of hands-on exercises, including: Implementing a Rust function with custom exception handling that can be called from Python. Converting a simple Python script into a Rust CLI tool, focusing on the first part of the conversion process. Writing a brief case study analysis on how Rust can optimize CPU-bound operations in a given Python project. By the end of this week, you'll have a solid understanding of advanced Rust and Python integration techniques.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
