Rust is a fairly new programming language with the goal of being a safe systems programming language. “Safe” means code generated by Rust is free of memory access and data race vulnerabilities. System programming language means that Rust programs are fast and able to use platform resources.
This 5-part video series entitled Rust Models by Dr. James Fawcett, describes different conceptual models that underlie the Rust programming language. Discussion with exemplars is used to illustrate how the models describe aspects of the language for effective use. In this series, five core fundamental models are presented:
- Type Safety
- Ownership
- Object Model
- Generics
- Code Structure
This video provides an introduction and a brief overview of the Rust Programming Language. It covers the prerequisites required for getting started. This includes: the setup of a development environment using Visual Studio Code, and the Rust package manager and build tool known as “Cargo.”
