The course was a good intro into the rust ecosystem for Python/JavaScript devs but I would say it does miss the spark of the rust ecosystem. Instead of makefiles, justfiles or cargo xtask should've been portrayed. The specialization doesn't have an intermediate rust course, that only focuses on the language's features. So, probably this intro course should've catered more into the advanced features? Thread safety, multithreading, async, WASM, unsafe/FFI/linking with C libs are all missed out. I intend to learn about Tokio's (a rust async crate for tasks) task management and WASM platform support. The state of web frameworks(https://www.arewewebyet.org/), gaming frameworks(https://arewegameyet.rs/), machine learning frameworks(https://www.arewelearningyet.com/), and support for WASM and WASM's scope should've at least been mentioned in the intro. Also, linking to Microsoft learn and parts of the rust book is alright, but there should've been a proper walkthrough of the rust website, covering the rustlings course and rust by example apart from the book. The first look given to the viewers into the rust ecosystem should've been much better. I am planning to take up the whole specialization, so my views might change about the intermediate/advanced features of rust not being discussed. But I strongly feel the intro course, at least in the first week should've given a much better peek into the rust ecosystem.

The lectures are very poorly prepared and full of errors. This makes them difficult to follow and understand. On the other hand, the quiz in week4 is extremely easy to pass, because no effort has been made to offer plausible incorrect multiple choice answers.

The course spends too much time on knowledge that should be gathered before the course (e.g. VS Code specific information, GH Copilot information, etc). There are a number of assessments in the labs that occur prior to information from the lectures or are repeated.

Honestly disappointed. Too much beating around the bush instead of just explaining things.

There are no graded programming assignments

Pretty okay, but the lecturer is a bit fuzzy in his explainations. Quite often I've got a better explanaination from google or the rust doc for certain topics

Save your time and rather do the MS Learning Course on Rust. It is far more comprehensive as well as comprehensible than this course. I understand that not all people are native speakers, but the instructor could at least script his videos before stumbling over terms for what seems like agonizing minutes.

Relevant information presented in a pleasant way. I had read the Rust book (50% or so) and jumped into this training because I had watched some videos by Noah, I wanted to progress a bit faster. Alfredo made it happen, skilled and also very good communicator. Thanks!

This course lays a very good foundation on learning a new programming language. The instructors relate their experience in learning from scratch with new technologies in GitHub copilot & code spaces.

Great hands on lessons. Thoroughly organized. I am grateful for the learning experience.

It's a great introductory course to learn and start your journey in Rust.

Great course serving as an introduction to Rust programming.

Great introduction

Excellent

Great

The video is somewhat long, and the lack of automatically graded programming assignments is a slight drawback. There were also some things I couldn't fully grasp from the video alone, but I found that going through the Microsoft learning materials provided as reading materials and asking questions to ChatGPT helped me gain a lot of insights.

need to add more advance topics

Very good learning path

content is simple, it's better the lab can be put to graded.

Its not what i expected
