Rust introductory workshop

This workshop will give an introduction to Rust through the slides and some hands-on exercices. Slides for the workshop: https://arild.github.io/rust-workshop

Preparations

The following steps should be completed before the workshop:

1. Install Rust
   • Linux/Mac: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install *
   • Windows 10: https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html#other-ways-to-install-rustup
2. Clone project: git clone https://github.com/arild/rust-workshop.git
3. Run cargo test in project root folder. Code should compile and it's expected that tests fail (coding exercises will make them green)
4. Import project to IDE. Verify that code completion is available.
   • IntelliJ plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/22407-rust
   • Visual Studio Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rust-lang.rust-analyzer
5. (Optional) Rust Rover - standalone IDE from JetBrains
   • Public preview: https://www.jetbrains.com/rust/
6. (Optional) Cargo watch - watch for file changes and runs the command again

   cargo install cargo-watch

   cargo watch -x "test partX" // x is part

• If you encounter linker 'cc' not found error while trying to install Rust, try to install build-essentials first:

sudo apt install build-essentials
