100 Exercises to Learn Rust
Unlock Rust mastery and IDE confidence with Luca Palmieri’s 100 expert-designed challenges—powered by RustRover.
About this course
Based on 100 Exercises to Learn Rust by Luca Palmieri, this course gives you a hands-on, test-driven path through Rust, starting with your first println! and progressing to advanced concepts like ownership, lifetimes, pattern matching, and generics.
Each challenge begins as a failing unit test. Your job? Write just enough code to make it pass and then refine it with instant feedback inside RustRover, the industry-trusted IDE for Rust. With guided setup, inline tests, intelligent autocomplete, and zero configuration hassle, you can focus entirely on learning by coding.
By the end, you'll have solved 100 curated problems, written clean and idiomatic Rust, and gained both language mastery and the confidence to work in a professional Rust development environment.
