Overview

Ascendient Learning's Memory Safe Programming with Rust training course gives attendees a thorough and practical understanding of memory safety, a concept that often poses a challenge for new Rust developers. While programmers with experience in other languages quickly grasp many Rust features, understanding and applying ownership and borrowing rules can be a steeper climb.

This advanced Rust course demystifies the Rust memory model and teaches attendees how to integrate it into their coding practice seamlessly. By the end of this Rust course, students have a deep understanding of memory safety in Rust and will be able to apply it to their projects immediately.

Skills Gained

  • Understand Rust’s philosophy of memory safety
  • Work with memory leaks and dangling pointers
  • Review concepts such as the stack and heap
  • Understand ownership and borrowing
  • Work with references and mutability
  • Use smart pointers
  • Build self referential structures

Prerequisites

This course assumes prior experience with Rust programming language. The course focuses on upskilling Rust developers to understand and apply Rust’s memory safety concepts.

Reviews

Courseware was effective but would like to have some PDF material on BPML and XPATH

The instructor was thorough and they also provided hands-on demonstrations with labs.

The training was great . But i expected some of the Networking concepts would be covered in this certification .

Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.

Brandon was a great instructor. The virtual course materials and labs provided were very informative.
