Learn React-router, Reflux and Rust

Rust is a modern language that is close to the metal. It's got the performance of C, but with a more friendly syntax and community.

It's also memory safe, and ensures your applications are bug free by catching errors at compile time instead of runtime.

These features make Rust a great choice for developing code for embedded systems, web servers, and CLI apps. You can even compile Rust into WebAssembly in order to run it in-browser!

But as the saying goes, "before you learn to run, you must learn to walk".

In this course, you will write your first Rust application.

Starting from “Hello World” you’ll quickly move on to learning about Rust’s types, configuration files, and the `cargo` package manager along with classics like functions, loops, and handling user input.

More Rust-specific concepts like macros and pattern matching will also be introduced.

Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.

Write Your First Program with the Rust Language

[Rustlings](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings) is a set of exercises that serves as a great introduction to the Rust language. It covers many concepts from the [Rust book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/) by asking you to work through sets of exercises.

This collection walks you through Rustlings in a way that explains what's going on in each exercise. We cover everything from basic types to generics and threading.

Learning Rust by Working Through the Rustlings Exercises

This collection contains videos that explore the basic types in Rust, including **Fixed size Integer**, **Pointer sized Integer**, **Boolean**, **Strings**, **Characters**, **Arrays**, **Tuples** and more.

If you're just starting out learning Rust and [wrote your first program](https://egghead.io/courses/write-your-first-program-with-the-rust-language), this collection is the right place to get more familiar with the language!

Basic Types in Rust

Many languages work on a compilation story to WebAssembly, but Rust is already ready for primetime. Why?


- Rust is a stable language and great replacement for C and C++. 
- Due to the reference and borrowing concept, Rust doesn’t need a Garbage Collector and can be used for a production-ready WebAssembly project. 
- The Rust/Wasm team has built some sophisticated tooling for straightforward interoperability between Rust and JavaScript.

This course gives you the tools to compile to WebAssembly with Rust. Over 11 lessons, we’ll set up a project and explore various paths of communication and interoperability between Rust and JavaScript.

Using WebAssembly with Rust

React Router v4 takes an entirely new approach to routing and handling URLs in your React applications. It fully embraces the concept of declarative programming and a component based development process. In practice, this turns out to be very nice and gives you a routing solution that is less configuration heavy than many previous solutions.

In this course, you will learn about the basics of React Router v4 to help you get started. We will look at the core components that React Router supplies and how they interact together to create a robust routing solution for your React applications.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

Add routing to React apps using React Router v4

React Router is the defacto router for any React application and it allows us to extract the state of our application from the browser's address bar.

In this course we'll explore the core features of React Router in common examples.  From routing with individual components to more complex routing consisting of multiple components, query-strings, route parameters,  and redirects.  

Getting Started with React Router v3

Routes are some times better served as a modal. If you have a modal (like a login modal) that needs to be routeable and appear on all pages you may need to use query params. Will explore how to render a route all the time and use query params to control when it's content renders

Gatsby is a blazing fast static site generator built with React. Gatsby gives you all of the modern JavaScript tools you want; set up and ready to go out of the box.

Restricting access to content that is delivered client-side in a Gatsby site takes a few steps. We use Netlify Identity to handle user authentication and reach router to build our auth-restricted client-side application.

In this lesson we’ll create a new Rust project using the `cargo new` command and take a look at some of the generated files.

In this lesson we’ll create our first “Hello World” Rust program from scratch and will learn how to compile it using `rustc`.

Compile and run a Rust program from scratch

In this lesson we'll learn how to use the `cargo run` command to compile and run a Rust program.

In this lesson we'll learn how to initialise variables in Rust and how to make them mutable using the `mut` keyword so they can be changed throughout the program.

Variables and Mutability in Rust

In this lesson we take a look at how `println!()` can be used to output multiple variables using formatter placeholders.

In this lesson we'll create a new function that receives parameters and called inside our program's `main()` function.

In this lesson we'll briefly discuss the concept of Ownership and Borrowing in Rust, and how expressions can be passed by value and by reference.

In this lesson we'll learn how to read user input from stdin, using Rust's `std::io` module and its `Stdin` object.

In this lesson we'll take a look at the simplest way of handling error in Rust using the `unwrap()` function.

This lesson discusses how to improve error handling by configuring custom error messages using the `expect()` function.

In this lesson we'll explore how to unwrap a `Result` type using a language feature called Pattern Matching.
