What you'll learn

  • Write memory-safe Rust programs without a garbage collector by applying ownership, borrowing, and the `Copy`/`Clone` trait rules

  • Handle errors idiomatically with `Option<T>`, `Result<T, E>`, `match`, and the `?` operator — no `null`, no uncaught exceptions

  • Build reusable abstractions with generics, traits, and lifetimes, and organize code using modules, closures, and iterators
