* beginning of an Async section * address review comments * Add futures page (#497) NOTE: `mdbook test` does not allow code samples to reference other crates, so they must be marked as `compile_fail`; see #175. * Add Runtimes & Tasks (#522) These concepts are closely related, and there's not much else to know about runtimes other than "they exist". This removes the bit about futures being "inert" because it doesn't really lead anywhere. * Async chapter (#524) * Add async channels chapter * Async control flow * Async pitfalls * Separate in multiple chapters + add daemon section * Merge reentering threads in blocking-executor * async_trait * Async fixes (#546) * Async: some ideas for simplifying the content (#550) * Simplify the async-await slide * Shorten futures and move it up * Add a page on Tokio * Modifications to the async section (#556) * Modifications to the async section * Remove the "Daemon" slide, as it largely duplicates the "Tasks" slide. The introduction to the "Control Flow" section mentions tasks as a kind of control flow. * Reorganize the structure in SUMMARY.md to correspond to the directory structure. * Simplify the "Pin" and "Blocking the Executor" slides with steps in the speaker notes to demonstrate / fix the issues. * Rename "join_all" to "Join". * Simplify some code samples to shorten them, and to print output rather than asserting. * Clarify speaker notes and include more "Try.." suggestions. * Be consistent about where `async` blocks are introduced (in the "Tasks" slide). * Explain `join` and `select` in prose. * Fix formatting of section-header slides. * Add a note on async trait (#558) --------- Co-authored-by: sakex <alexandre@senges.ch> Co-authored-by: rbehjati <razieh@google.com>
Comprehensive Rust 🦀
This repository has the source code for Comprehensive Rust 🦀, a four day Rust course developed by the Android team. The course covers all aspects of Rust, from basic syntax to generics and error handling. It also includes Android-specific content on the last day.
Read the course at https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/.
Course Format and Target Audience
The course is used internally at Google when teaching Rust to experienced software engineers. They typically have a background in C++ or Java.
The course is taught in a classroom setting and we hope it will be useful for others who want to teach Rust to their team. The course will be less useful for self-study since you miss out on the discussions happening in the classroom. You don't see the questions and answers and you don't see the compiler errors we trigger when going through the code samples. We hope to improve on this via speaker notes and by publishing videos.
Building
The course is built using a few tools:
Install these tools with:
$ cargo install mdbook
$ cargo install mdbook-svgbob
$ cargo install mdbook-i18n-helpers
$ cargo install --path mdbook-exerciser
Then run
$ mdbook test
to test all included Rust snippets. Run
$ mdbook serve
to start a web server with the course. You'll find the content on
http://localhost:3000. You can use mdbook build to create a static version
of the course in the book/ directory.
