Rust 101 – 5: References

Starting some more advanced Rust programming ideas by looking at references – the ability to “borrow” values and refer to them without taking ownership. We look at mutable and immutable references, and the rules about references that prevent us ever having an “invalid” reference that points at something that has been dropped or changed.

Rust 101 – 3: Memory and ownership

Continuing on Rust programming basics by looking at ownership and memory management, including the stack and the heap: what they are, how they differ, and why you need to care.

For more help on ownership and the stack and the heap, try Chapter 4 of the Rust book.

Rust 101 – 2: Language basics

An introduction to the Rust language basics.

Series: Language basics, More syntax, Traits and generics, Building applications, Concurrency and parallelism

This section (Language basics): 1: Intro, 2: Language basics, 3: Memory and ownership, 4: Exercises A1

  • What Rust is and why you might want to learn it
  • Examining a simple program
  • Learning about the types of variable you can have (numbers, strings, tuples, arrays)
  • Introducing control flow with if, for, while and loop
  • Talking about functions and expressions
  • Preparing ourselves for the next video, which is about memory management

If you’d like to learn more about Unicode and character sets, try my video Interesting Characters where I share how surprisingly interesting this whole area is.
