Course Description
This course bridges the transition from C and C++ to Rust by highlighting their similarities and differences. Exploring Rust’s native compilation, memory management, and advanced features, you’ll compare and contrast key concepts like types, control flow, and data structures in this class. Delve into Rust’s strengths in memory safety and concurrency, alongside its unified tool, Cargo, streamlining development. Additionally, learn how Rust facilitates interoperability with C and C++ through Foreign Function Interface (FFI).
