Introduction

This book contains our training material, divided up into individual slide decks. Each deck is a lesson. Those lessons combine to form a module, which is taught during a series of sessions within a training. See the glossary for more details.

This is the book version of our material. You can also see the lessons in slide form at https://rust-training.ferrous-systems.com/latest/slides.

We have a standard grouping of lessons into modules, but this can be customised according to customer needs. The modules have dependencies - that is, pre-requisite knowledge required to get the most out of a particular module. The dependencies are shown in the following graphic.

Most of our modules are available now (shown in green), but some are still in development and will be available in the future (shown in grey). We also have stand-alone courses (shown in blue).
