Rust-ifying Your C# Codebase
Leverage your C# knowledge to learn Rust — ownership through memory patterns, traits through interfaces, Result/Option through exception handling. Includes interop and WebAssembly.
Based on: Conference talk
Course Overview
This course leverages existing C# knowledge to teach Rust, using constant parallels between C# patterns and their Rust equivalents. Ownership is taught through C# memory patterns, traits through interfaces, Result/Option through exception handling. The course covers interoperability between Rust and C#, WebAssembly, and building production-ready microservices. Every concept is introduced alongside its C# counterpart, accelerating adoption and reducing friction for .NET developers.
- Intermediate to Advanced C# and .NET Developers. Developers wanting to add systems programming to their toolkit. Teams evaluating Rust for performance-critical components.
- Proficiency in C# programming and object-oriented principles. Understanding of memory management concepts (stack, heap, garbage collection). Familiarity with async/await and LINQ. Experience with package managers (NuGet).
What Makes This Course Different
Constant C#-to-Rust comparison in every module. Dedicated Rust and C# interoperability module. C# translation cheat sheet included. Conference talk expanded into comprehensive 24.5-hour curriculum.
