A self-paced, exercise-driven course that teaches the Rust programming language from scratch through 100 progressive exercises. Created by Mainmatter as a free companion to their paid Rust workshops, it covers syntax, the type system, the standard library, and the ecosystem, with solutions available on a dedicated branch.

Use cases

• learn Rust from scratch with hands-on practice
• self-paced Rust course with exercises
• practice Rust by solving small coding problems
• transition from another programming language to Rust
• structured beginner tutorial for Rust ownership and type system
• find exercises to learn Rust one step at a time

When to choose

• You want to learn Rust by writing code instead of only reading books or watching videos
• You already know at least one other programming language and want a guided path into Rust, including memory management and systems concepts
• You prefer incremental, self-paced learning with solutions available for self-checking

When to avoid

• You need a reusable Rust library, framework, or tool to include in a project - this is course material, not shipping software
• You require permissive or commercial-use licensing - the content is under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0
• You are already proficient in Rust and only need advanced or specialized topics, which are covered by separate paid masterclasses
