In our customized Rust Training for Teams, your team will learn the fundamental skills to confidently read and write Rust code competently on their own. Over the course of six half-days your team will gain a deep understanding of Rust and dive into the Rust mindset.

In the first three half-days we'll cover the fundamentals of the Rust programming language. In a varied mix of lectures and hands-on exercises we'll cover the following topics:

• Installation and “Hello World”
• Rust's type system
• Basic functions
• Control flow
• Introduction to Rust's ownership model
• Error Handling
• Compound Types
• Reading documentation
• Introduction to testing and tooling
• Writing a simple module
• Five programming exercises

The following two half-days are spent on the application of Rust in bigger code bases written in teams.
You'll learn everything you need to know write effective, well documented code.

• Generics
• Traits
• Lifetimes & a deeper dive into the ownership model
• Concurrency
• Introduction to important crates such as serde
• Writing documentation for modules
• Four programming exercises

The last half-day is spent on a topic of your choice from our extensive material list or a comprehensive Q&A.

Is your team already writing production code in Rust for more then a year? We offer an advanced version of the training to give your team the boost they need!

In our Embedded Rust Training for Teams we'll first cover the fundamentals of the Rust programming language. In a varied mix of lectures and hands-on exercises we'll cover Rust's syntax, type system, control flow, the ownership model as it applies to building Embedded Systems, as well as writing modules and reading Rust's documentation. This component of the course will take three half-days. Over the next three half-days we cover the following topics, using the Nordic nrf52840-DK as our example platform.

Embedded Rust Fundamentals

• Introduction to the knurling tooling (flip-link, probe-run, nrfdfu)
• Differences between [std] and [no_std] programming
• Building and running an embedded Rust program
• Defining custom panic behavior
• Using a HAL implementation
• Getting serial output
• Using the heapless crate
• Hands-on exercise: Solving a puzzle with the nRF52840-DK Radio

Down-the-stack of Embedded Rust

• Introduction to the stack:
• Board Support Crates (BSC)
• HAL implementations
• Peripheral Access Crates (PAC)
• Embedded-HAL traits vs. specific HAL implementations
• Introduction to svd2rust
• Implementation of embedded-hal traits
• Hands-on Exercise: implementing parts of a BSC
• Hands-on Exercise: parsing an SVD file with svd2rust

The Real-Time Interrupt-driven Concurrency framework (RTIC)

• Interrupts in Rust
• Introduction to the RTIC framework
• Hands-on project: implement a working USB Device using RTIC

Hardware

This workshop requires ordering hardware in advance!

• nRF52840-DK ^*
• nRF52840-Dongle ^*
• Micro-USB cable

In our half-day course on Why Rust? you will learn what Rust is about, where it is from and where it is going, to help you consider whether Rust is the right programming language for you. You will get get a taster of what our expert training could deliver for your company, and whether it is right for you to look at Rust for your next project.
The session includes two interactive lectures, an extended live programming demonstration, and a Q&A session. We also provide a list of resources and places you can go for support and advice on taking your next steps.

The price for this product is €500 per person.

Companies who contract our half-day course on Why Rust? for their team will also be offered a 5% discount on our Rust Training for Teams products.

Our Rust Training in 1 week (5 days) format is designed for individuals who are interested in receiving formal training or business clients who only wish to train a small number of engineers. Our expert trainers will deliver the same basic Rust content as in the Rust training for Teams package. We omit the final half-day from the 'Teams Intro to Rust' package dedicated to a topic of choice or a Q&A session.

Below are the following upcoming training sessions which are available via our sales partners - KDAB. You can also see the upcoming sessions for Rust training by us on KDAB's website.

The price for this product is €2250 per person.

We conduct all training sessions remotely using modern video-conferencing tools to ensure the best learning experience.

In our Embedded Rust Training over three half-days we'll use the Nordic nrf52840-DK as our example platform. In a varied mix of lectures and hands-on exercises we'll cover the following topics:

Prerequisites

Our Embedded Rust training naturally makes some assumptions around the Rust knowledge previously gained by the attendees, so we can concentrate on the Embedded-specific aspects. Before starting this course, trainees must be comfortable with:

• Using rustup to install Rust
• Using cargo to install third-party tools written in Rust
• Building and executing small command-line Rust programs
• The difference between arrays and slices
• Writing functions in Rust and calling them from other crates
• Pattern-matching enum types with match
• Methods calls, and &self, vs &mut self vs self vs associated functions
• Using Standard Library types like Vec, HashMap and String

Familiarity with the nRF52, or Arm Cortex-M based microcontrollers in general, is not required. A basic understanding of an equivalent embedded “bare-metal” platform would be advantageous but not strictly required.

Why Ferrocene? is a free 90 minute introduction to Ferrocene, a toolchain for building safety-critical and functional-safety systems in Rust.

In this session our experienced trainer will show off a pre-release of the Ferrocene toolchain, talking about the similarities and differences with the upstream Rust toolchain, its use cases and how its long-term support model works. We will also build a small example application for ARM64, live. Finally there will be time for Q&A, and we will provide details you need to obtain a copy of Ferrocene for yourself.

This training is free!
