Learning outcomes

After successfully completing this course, the student

• Knows the key features of the Rust programming language and can contrast these features with those in some of the earlier programming languages with low-level memory access.
• Knows the types of problems that Rust is designed to solve, and knows how to solve such problems with Rust.
• Can design and implement basic programs with Rust, knows about Rust-specific working practices, knows about some of the advanced features in Rust, and can independently navigate Rust documentation.
