I gave a talk at #RustConf 2024 in beautiful Montreal a few months ago and the video is now available! The talk is about the Comprehensive #Rust family of courses and our experience teaching them to developers at Google. #rustlang.

You think Rust is great but you can't use it for your embedded device?.Ivan and me wrote a blog post about gradually introducing it into existing C firmware πŸ¦€πŸ¦€πŸ¦€.

I'm running a full day "#Concurrency in #Rust" workshop at this year's @RustFest conference in #Zurich!. The level is intermediate to advanced: we'll cover using both threads and #async. #rustlang #rustfest.

Please keep adding GitHub stars 🌟! I think they helped the repository get into the Trending list on GitHub at least twice, which in turn made it go viral here and on other social media platforms.

Yes, a huge thank you to everybody who read Comprehensive Rust and sent us feedback, bug fixes, translations, and new content! It's been an amazing 12 months and I hope the family of courses will continue to be a useful learning resource to the whole #Rust community in 2024!.

It’s been exactly a year since we open sourced our internal training β€œComprehensive Rust.” We’re deeply humbled by the community support! Thanks to all who took the training, used the material, reported issues, and especially to the hundreds(!) of contributors. Some numbers:.1/4.

Turns out Comprehensive Rust is on the trending repository page at spot 19! πŸ₯³ Thanks for all the PRs you've sent us in the last few days! Dustin had been busy fixing a few things in the rewrite and @adehohum has been polishing the Chromium section for a class next week.

Oh wow, I'm not sure how this is measured, but I ended up on spot 4 of 😊. Must be because of all the activity we have right now in where we just added an extra day to #Rust Fundamentals and landed a class on Rust in #Chromium!

I encourage you to take a look, even if you've already paged through the old course: Please report any problems to our bug tracker! We're already tracking a few things here: (and in the new issues Dustin just created).

Thanks to @adehohum, Comprehensive Rust has been expanded with a course on how to use #Rust in #Chromium! You'll find it here: I particularly like the exercise which will make your browser talk funny while also being more #secure and #memorysafe πŸ˜„
