Automatically move to the next video in the Classroom when playback concludes
- 1 Intro
- 2 The Pitch
- 3 Week 3: Explain why it matters
- 4 The Plan
- 5 What's the approach?
- 6 Suggestions: 1. Do examples beforehand 2. Treat rustc as a teacher 3. Don't fake it
- 7 Rust Playground The (New) Rust Book Rustlings Godbolt
- 8 The Class
- 9 All data has an owner Ownership can be moved Old owner can't use data Simple types can be copied
- 10 Aliasing XOR Mutability
- 11 Emphasize the rules Give lots of examples Show some complex cases
- 12 Sometimes you need code that's generic over lifetimes
- 13 Assignment: do the move semantics Rustlings exercises
- 14 Threads w/out data races
- 15 Introduce the key stdlib types: Arc, Rc, Mutex, RwLock
- 16 Make clear that Rust stops data races, not race conditions
- 17 Assignment: solve the Dining Philosophers problem
- 18 Safety & Security
- 19 Explain Safe Rust & Unsafe Rust
- 20 Unsafe Rust can't trust Safe Rust
- 21 Safety lies at the module boundary
- 22 Safety has an impact on security
- 23 Assignment: find a CVE that could have been stopped by Rust
- 24 The Results
- 25 Ended the series with a post-Rust survey
- 26 And the syntax was weird
- 27 Students felt Rust was really powerful
- 28 Students felt more confident than they did with C++
- 29 The ergonomics initiative will help new Rustaceans!
- 30 Conclusion
