# Course Structure

> This page is for the course instructor.

The course is fast paced and covers a lot of ground:

* Day 1: Basic Rust, ownership and the borrow checker.
* Day 2: Compound data types,  pattern matching, the standard library.
* Day 3: Traits and generics, error handling, testing, unsafe Rust.

## Deep Dives

In addition to the 3-day class on Rust Fundamentals, we cover some more
specialized topics:

### Android

The [Android Deep Dive](../android.md) is a half-day course on using Rust for
Android platform development. This includes interoperability with C, C++, and
Java.

You will need an [AOSP checkout][1]. Make a checkout of the [course
repository][2] on the same machine and move the `src/android/` directory into
the root of your AOSP checkout. This will ensure that the Android build system
sees the `Android.bp` files in `src/android/`.

Ensure that `adb sync` works with your emulator or real device and pre-build all
Android examples using `src/android/build_all.sh`. Read the script to see the
commands it runs and make sure they work when you run them by hand.

### Bare-Metal

The [Bare-Metal Deep Dive](../bare-metal.md): a full day class on using Rust for
bare-metal (embedded) development. Both microcontrollers and application
processors are covered.

For the microcontroller part, you will need to buy the [BBC
micro:bit](https://microbit.org/) v2 development board ahead of time. Everybody
will need to install a number of packages as described on the [welcome
page](../bare-metal.md).

### Concurrency

The [Concurrency Deep Dive](../concurrency.md) is a full day class on classical
as well as `async`/`await` concurrency.

You will need a fresh crate set up and the dependencies downloaded and ready to
go. You can then copy/paste the examples into `src/main.rs` to experiment with
them:

```shell
cargo init concurrency
cd concurrency
cargo add tokio --features full
cargo run
```

## Format

The course is meant to be very interactive and we recommend letting the
questions drive the exploration of Rust!
