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.

The fundamentals of rust course is very clear, well explained, and the contents are ok for any audience, with only little experience in other programming languages. I highly recommend it.

The instructor was really clear about every content. Just as an example the way he explained why we need debugger was really nice. It seems to follow the course, you need to know some prior knowledge about programming; like writing some codes in Python. Otherwise, you may get lost at some point. It would be nice that if the course covers compile time and runtime polymorphism as well (there were some generic/template syntax shown up in the course). Some people also complained about using some AI stuff to write codes during this course. But you really do not need it to follow the course (as what the instructor is promised).

A very good course, I would suggest to anyone interested in Rust. At the end of the course you have a solid understanding of many core concepts in the Rust language and you have gone through several practical labs. I also appreciate the integration of Github Copilot, which many of us use anyway in their day-to-day work. I give 4/5 stars because I would have expected also some explanations of other core concepts, although not so easy: lifetimes, traits, attributes, macros, etc... which were missing.

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.

Good introduction to the Rust programming language. I would have liked to see some concepts like moving and borrowing explained in more detail with more examples of correct/incorrect usage. Rust introduces some concepts that are not covered in the classic programming languages taught at university, such as C/C++/Java.

Good introduction to Rust. Useful to get started and understand the basics. Using the coach helps when you want to dive deeper into details or explore uncovered concepts.

Why questions regarding Codespaces and Copilot are mandatory? I don't want to use these features and spend time learning them. In my opinion they are interfere with learning Rust and they are depriving me of the opportunity to understand language deeper. These quizes should be optional and even better if they be removed from modules to 'additional materials' or something.
