Fundamentals with Rust: Build a CLI Distance Calculator

Do you know that according to surveys, Rust is one of the most admired computer programming languages for 8 years in a row? Rust is a language that is prized for its performance, memory safety, and concurrency, making it ideal for today’s cloud-based computing world. It is used by major technology companies such as Microsoft and Github. In this 1-hour long project-based course, your Rust learning journey will take off with the fundamental concepts and language syntax of Rust. We will do this by building a command line interface tool that calculate distances between cities. At the end of the course, you will be able to use Rust to create and build other projects. This course is aimed at learners who have at least intermediate level proficiency with at least one modern high level programming languages such as JavaScript, Java, C, C++, Swift, Go, Kotlin. As we will leverage that knowledge and further explore Rust’s unique features.
