This comprehensive Rust Specialization from Coursera and Duke University, a top Data Science and AI program, provides software engineers, data scientists, and technical professionals with applied skills to leverage Rust’s speed, safety, and versatility for robust systems programming. Over five courses spanning foundational syntax to advanced machine learning integrations, master Rust programming through hands-on lessons and 20+ coding projects, then tackle real-world challenges like building a database migration tool, optimizing an ML pipeline, or creating a Linux automation script. Upon completion, you'll have portfolio-ready Rust abilities to apply for roles like Platform Engineer, MLOps Engineer, Data Engineer, Embedded Engineer, or Backend Developer.
Applied Learning Project
Through over 20 hands-on coding projects like building a Rust chatbot, containerizing a web service, developing a Linux automation script, or optimizing a machine learning pipeline, learners will gain authentic, portfolio-ready experience applying their Rust skills to tackle real-world systems programming problems designed by experts at Duke University.
Apply Rust's core concepts like ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes to write efficient, reliable, and safe code.
Use Rust's advanced features like enums, structs, traits, and generics to build robust applications.
Develop, document, test and debug Rust projects using Cargo, Rust Analyzer, and other tools in the Rust ecosystem.
Are you a data engineer, software developer, or a tech enthusiast with a basic understanding of Rust, seeking to enhance your skills and dive deep into the realm of data engineering with Rust? Or are you a professional from another programming language background, aiming to explore the efficiency, safety, and concurrency features of Rust for data engineering tasks? If so, this course is designed for you.
While a fundamental knowledge of Rust is expected, you should ideally be comfortable with the basics of data structures and algorithms, and have a working understanding of databases and data processing. Familiarity with SQL, the command line, and version control with git is advantageous. This four-week course focuses on leveraging Rust to create efficient, safe, and concurrent data processing systems. The journey begins with a deep dive into Rust's data structures and collections, followed by exploring Rust's safety and security features in the context of data engineering. In the subsequent week, you'll explore libraries and tools specific to data engineering like Diesel, async, Polars, and Apache Arrow, and learn to interface with data processing systems, REST, gRPC protocols, and AWS SDK for cloud-based data operations. The final week focuses on designing and implementing full-fledged data processing systems using Rust. By the end of this course, you will be well-equipped to use Rust for handling large-scale data engineering tasks, solving real-world problems with efficiency and speed. The hands-on labs and projects throughout this course will ensure you gain practical experience, putting your knowledge into action. This course is your gateway to mastering data engineering with Rust, preparing you for the next level in your data engineering journey.
Apply DevOps principles and workflows to build, deploy, and operate applications using technologies like Rust, containers, logging, and monitoring.
Instrument applications with logging and monitoring using frameworks like ELK stack and Prometheus to gain observability into systems.
Automate system administration tasks like file parsing, command execution, and cron jobs using Rust to improve efficiency.
Build powerful command line tools in Rust and Python
Use Python with Rust for building powerful tools
Mastery in deploying Rust for intricate LLMOps workflows.
