The official playground quite often provides a timeout error as in https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/issues/2549 This is mocking/overriding the response from the playground for success and failure messages to avoid the server provided timeouts. As far as I see most responses from the playground are delivered below 10 seconds (but varies a lot...) There still might be timeouts and I know of the following knobs that can be tuned - wdio waits for 10 seconds until it aborts the current attemp (e.g. to wait for the text to be as expected)347de61d13/tests/wdio.conf.ts (L98)- another timeout is the 15 second timeout for fetching the result from the playground - this is not overriden by the mock (currently, pending https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/issues/14090 which would allow for an immediate mock response without waiting for the remote endpoint)347de61d13/theme/book.js (L31)
Comprehensive Rust 🦀
This repository has the source code for Comprehensive Rust 🦀, a multi-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 deep dives on Android, Chromium, bare-metal, and concurrency.
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.
Press
Articles and blog posts from around the web which cover Comprehensive Rust:
- 2023-09-08: Teaching Rust in 5 days. Comprehensive Rust was used as a base for a 5-day university class on Rust.
- 2023-09-21: Scaling Rust Adoption Through Training. We published a blog post with details on the development of the course.
- 2023-10-02: In Search of Rust Developers, Companies Turn to In-House Training. About how Microsoft, Google, and others are training people in Rust.

Building
The course is built using a few tools:
In addition, mdbook-linkcheck checks the internal links.
First install Rust by following the instructions on https://rustup.rs/. Then clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/
cd comprehensive-rust
Then install these tools with:
bash install-mdbook.sh
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. Note that you have to separately build
and zip exercises and add them to book/html. To build any of the translated
versions of the course, run MDBOOK_BOOK__LANGUAGE=xx mdbook build -d book/xx
where xx is the ISO 639 language code (e.g. da for the Danish translation).
TRANSLATIONS.md contains further instructions.
Note
On Windows, you need to enable symlinks (
git config --global core.symlinks true) and Developer Mode.
