Rust Systems Programming

Write memory-safe systems code. Master ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, and concurrency in Rust to build high-performance software.

Rust provides memory safety without a garbage collector, making it ideal for systems programming. This course dives deep into Rust's unique ownership model and borrow checker. You will learn to write thread-safe concurrent code without race conditions, handle errors robustly using Result/Option types, and interact with low-level system resources. We cover building CLI tools, networking services, and integrating with C libraries via FFI. The future of systems engineering.
