Modern Tooling

Experience Rust's excellent documentation, package manager, and testing tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a course for the Rust programming language?
Yes. LearningRust.org teaches the Rust programming language through a free browser-based course, not the survival game. You will practice ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, traits, async Rust, and command-line projects.
Can I learn Rust for free here?
Yes. The full Rust curriculum, examples, and online playground are free to use. You can start with lesson one, run code in the browser, and continue through the capstone project without installing Rust first.
Do I need to install Rust before starting?
No. The lessons and playground run Rust code in a secure browser sandbox, so you can learn the language before setting up rustup, Cargo, or a local editor.
What is the best way to learn Rust?
Start with variables and functions, spend extra time on ownership and borrowing, then practice with structs, enums, traits, collections, and error handling. The fastest path is to run small examples, break them, read the compiler feedback, and fix them.
