Rust is a fast-growing, modern programming language oriented to system programming that guarantees memory and thread safety. It enables you to eliminate many classes of bugs at compile-time. This course covers all the skills needed to work with real-world data using Rust. In this course, you’ll learn all the basics of intermediate Rust programming. You’ll discover and master the five data-related skills: data input, storage, serving data, analyzing data, and data visualization. You’ll learn to ingest data from various formats, like CSV, JSON, web APIs, and web scraping. You’ll also learn to store the data using Redis, an SQL server, or a NoSQL database like MongoDB. Finally, you will learn how to present your data in meaningful visualizations, web maps, and reports. After taking this course, you’ll be able to approach data using Rust with confidence. You’ll be able to manage SQLite, ORM SQL, and NoSQL databases in Rust. You’ll learn the basics of web scraping, data analysis, and machine learning in Rust.
