About this course

This course is dedicated to programmers who are already familiar with the world of programming and are looking to become acquainted with the Rust programming language. We designed this course to be a series of short, interactive articles that you can skim, dive into, or even skip.

  • The progress I have made since starting to use codecademy is immense! I can study for short periods or long periods at my own convenience - mostly late in the evenings.
