This repository is a fork of the source code for Comprehensive Rust 🦀, a multi-day Rust course developed by the Android team. The course covers all aspects of Rust, from basic syntax to generics and error handling. This experimental fork is intended to be taught in just two days. As such, it omits some material and zooms over other.
Read the course at https://rust-edu.github.io/comprehensive-rust-2day/.
The three-day version of this course is used internally at Google when teaching Rust to experienced software engineers. They typically have a background in C++ or Java.
The course is taught in a classroom setting and we hope it will be useful for others who want to teach Rust to their team. The course will be less useful for self-study since you miss out on the discussions happening in the classroom. You don't see the questions and answers and you don't see the compiler errors we trigger when going through the code samples. We hope to improve on this via speaker notes and by publishing videos.
The course is built using a few tools:
First clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/
cd comprehensive-rust
Then install these tools with:
cargo install mdbook
cargo install mdbook-svgbob
cargo install mdbook-i18n-helpers
cargo install --path mdbook-exerciser
cargo install --path mdbook-course
Run
mdbook test
to test all included Rust snippets. Run
mdbook serve
to start a web server with the course. You'll find the content on
http://localhost:3000. You can use mdbook build
to create a static version
of the course in the book/
directory. Note that you have to separately build
and zip exercises and add them to book/html
. To build any of the translated
versions of the course, run MDBOOK_BOOK__LANGUAGE=xx mdbook build -d book/xx
where xx
is the ISO 639 language code (e.g. da
for the Danish translation).
TRANSLATIONS.md contains further instructions.
Note On Windows, you need to enable symlinks (
git config --global core.symlinks true
) and Developer Mode.
