Course Description
This rust network programming automation course introduces the power of Rust for developing low-level, scalable, and safe network applications. Starting with Rust fundamentals, you’ll quickly dive into building TCP/UDP clients and servers, managing asynchronous I/O, and working with essential crates like tokio
, hyper
, and reqwest
.
Next, the course transitions into real-world automation use cases—network scanning, log processing, service monitoring, and configuration management—where Rust’s safety and speed really shine. You’ll write small yet powerful Rust-based tools that integrate seamlessly into DevOps pipelines and cloud-native environments.
By the end of this course, you’ll be capable of designing reliable, performant networking solutions and infrastructure automation tools using Rust’s modern, memory-safe ecosystem.
