When teaching the class, I’ve noticed that raw strings and byte strings tend to cause confusion. The slide is meant to be a friendly introduction and show how Rust is similar to other languages like C and C++. Instead, the string types cause a ton of questions which are unnecessary at this early point. The information is still there, but now in the form of a speaker note. |

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.
