Course Overview
Learn about common and useful Data Structures and Algorithms
Rust is a modern systems programming language designed with safety to simplify the development of large, complex software projects. Data structure and Algorithms are key to help in the collection and organization of the data for performing operations on the data and set instructions/logic to accomplish tasks in these projects. This course will be your guide for implementing classic data structures and algorithms in Rust, helping you to get up and running as a confident Rust programmer.
You will begin with a primer to Rust and its syntax. You will then explore the language of Time and Memory complexity by comparing different sorting methods. You’ll then learn about Lists and Binary Trees, implement them, and compare them, to show the advantages and use cases of each. Next, you will cover different algorithms in-depth such as sorting, graph, dynamic programming, greedy, divide and conquer, and more. You will learn how counterintuitive techniques can actually make it easier to build scalable projects!
By the end of the course, you will have a sound knowledge of the key data structures and algorithms in Rust to confidently implement them in your applications.
About the Author
Matthew Stoodley is a programming expert and enthusiast, who was drawn to learn about Rust and master its features initially due to its low power usage and memory safety capabilities. He primarily uses Rust to build board games.
In addition, he also possesses several years of experience in Go, PHP, and JavaScript.

This tutorial is a great review of Rust by Example and Rust Book, and it serves as a solid continuation into data structures and algorithms (DSA). I recommend that everyone complete Rust by Example and at least two mini-projects from the Rust Book before diving into this.

I was expecting an introduction to data structures and algorithms however this was not the case This case requires a lot of knowledge of data strucutres and algorithms, the skill level is set to beginner level which is not the case.

The course is helpful and goes direct to the point, but the thing that I can't understand is the choice of white mode for this course!!!!! For people like me with astigmatism [a common eye problem] and also everyone who wants to take the course at night with low light, its a P in the A. The content is high quality, but the theming choice is very poor and made my eyes burn for the first hours in to the course. I also tried to use browser extensions like "Video Color Invert", but because of the bottom line (which is a black line and after inverting the color will be white) and also the fact he is mostly using the bottom of the screen, I couldn't see and i had to have another window open to cover the bottom of screen with it =)
