Learning Rust For Busy People

Use Rust to develop a miniature version of the “sed” command-line utility, part 2. Covers topics that include an update to the level of detail covered in the podcast, considerations when selecting the name "build" or "new" for a constructor function that is associated with a "struct", differences between the Python Standard Library and Rust Standard Library when it comes to functionality for comma...

Use Rust to develop a miniature version of the “sed” command-line utility, part 1. Covers topics that include a subset of functionality for the “sed” command-line utility that’s used for replacing text, the scope of features that we’ll include in the miniature “sed” utility that we’re building, how to define a “struct” in Rust, how to leverage the “Option” enum for a value that may be either somet...

Use Rust to extract text from a Markdown file, part 3. Covers concepts that include how to implement error handling by treating problems as either "unrecoverable" errors (by calling the "panic!" macro) or "recoverable" errors (by returning a "Result" enum), how to propagate errors using the question mark operator, and how to specify return types and return values for functions.

Use Rust to extract text from a Markdown file, part 2. Covers concepts that include refactoring a program into a binary crate and a library crate for separation of concerns, passing command-line arguments to a program, using a vector, using the "dbg!" macro, the system of "ownership" in Rust, and what it means for a Rust program to "panic".
