Rust Learning Path: Courses/Certificates Suggestions

community
1

Hi! Just a quick context; I do not have any background in technology at all but I really want to learn Rust. I'm just a Senior High School (High School in some countries) graduate. Is it possible for me to learn Rust? Is it costly?

I know it will be tough considering I'm not that techy at all but I want to do this. Can you suggest any courses/certificates/YT channels that I can take as I go along?

I know I have to learn the pre-requisites first such as CCS fundamentals, command line basics, hardware basics, etc. and I don't know where to start. I'm hoping for your suggestions.

Any help is appreciated. I'm hoping for your kind answers! Thank you!

I learnt Rust with the Rust book. It's very helpful and teaches you the basics (and some not-so-basics) of Rust, to the point where you can program a decent amount of beginner-level projects. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge with programming languages before, but I think you'll do just fine without. :+1: It is also useful to have minimal knowledge of command-line utilities, but I'm not sure about resources to learn that (I just learnt it through working with CLIs for a while); this might help: W3 Bash tutorial (Unix shell) Having a Linux machine helps, too, but it's not essential. And, of course, the forum is here to help! :slight_smile: If you're stuck on something, do feel free to ask about it; there are lots of very kind and helpful people here.

Hope this helps!

I see that your question is mainly about learning Rust, but a warning: Certificates are generally of very little value, unless you’re specifically looking to be something like a consultant for enterprise software development (and that is not likely to also be Rust work). Don’t spend money on them.
