Hey @thecil, really keen to get cracking with this course…
However, the lecture 8 and 9 videos (Hello World - Rust Compiler & Cargo Package Manager) is the same as lecture 7 (Visual Studio Code Extensions).

Would rly appreciate if this was fixed! :partying_face:
Thanks again :heart:

No prob :slight_smile:
Once I can continue on past those lectures if I come across any issues with duplicates/misorders is it best to notify you guys on this thread?

I’m super happy this course is out… I have been putting off making the decision of whether to focus on Rust or Go, so it’s nice of the academy to make the decision for me :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes please! Keep posting each issue/bug you find here. :muscle:

Hey mate, just another heads up :slightly_smiling_face:

The first lecture (Welcome to the Course) and fifth lecture (Introduction to Rust Fundamentals) are the same video - not sure if intentional but though I’d let you know.

Cheers! :heart:

Hey @thecil - I just finished the Advanced Rust Quiz.

Question one is:
Which memory management concept does Rust have?
Says the correct answer is garbage collection…

Unless I’m reading the answer incorrectly, I would have thought it was ownership-based.

Might be something you wanna fix, or tell me I’m stupid :sunglasses:
Thanks again mate!

Updated! From what i have been learned so far (like you) in terms of rust, i also believe its ownership-based.

I have updated the question, because it is the correctly logic answer.

Thanks man! Keep an eye on this minor errors please :nerd_face:

I get information in mail that the course will be about Solana - the blockchain, how it is made, how to use it, about decentralization of it xddd etc
but it is again programing course.

I think you should do more courses other parts of blockchain space, like e g NFTs and other ways to start a career in crypto industry.
