Welcome to Fast Track to Rust

This course is designed to introduce you to the Rust programming language by building an actual program. We'll be developing a grep-like program with a minimal subset of the features found in the GNU ¹ grep ² utility. This means we'll start with what we know and iterate upon the design as we learn more about the language.

The goal is to teach you Rust, so it's assumed you don't know anything about the language. However, it's also assumed that you have experience programming in other languages like C++, and are familiar with multithreading, data structures, and program memory organization (i.e., heap, stack, etc.).

This course moves relatively quickly. Most topics are covered enough to provide a fundamental understanding. As you progress, references to the official Rust documentation are provided for further exploration.

Enough chit chat, let's get started!
