Day 42, and here we are. Six weeks of learning Rust from the perspective of a C# developer. We covered the basics, wrestled with ownership, danced with traits and lifetimes, and shipped a working...
Welcome to Day 41, and we are almost done! Today, we are putting Rust’s performance reputation to the test. Rust has a reputation for being fast. But how fast? If you have been living...
Day 40, and today we are looking at how to package and release your Rust CLI app. You have written the code, added argument parsing, handled the logic, and even written tests. Now it...
Onward to Day 39. Today, we're discussing testing in Rust. If you are a C# developer, you have probably spent time with xUnit, NUnit, or MSTest. You know the usual or attributes...
Welcome to Day 38. Today, we're getting our hands dirty with file I/O. Reading and writing files is one of those tasks every app must perform at some point. If you have written C#...
