Create a Digital Garden CLI with Rust
Instructor
Chris Biscardi
In this course, Chris takes a README-driven approach to build out a Rust CLI that supports content authoring for a digital garden.
Specifically, you'll work through the first command for the CLI, writing files. You start by initializing a new Cargo binary crate by creating the write command that allows you to create files (and their contents) to the folder that you set.
đ± This is a Fresh Course
This course is new and up to date â you'll get a great introduction to Rust and what to consider when building CLI tools.

Learner Reviews
- Pramod Jingade2 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
Clean, concise, clear explanations
- Learner2 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
Good learnings, some of the code is a bit dated by now and required more digging/workarounds than expected. Also, dependency installs between videos weren't made as clear as I'd have liked to :)
- Anish De2 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
Very well explained, no time wasted (Chris pasted in the code instead of typing it during the tut and that makes the videos wayy shorter :) )
- Sekou Diarra3 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
The course is great. But I strongly recommend that you have read the Rust Book (online version) at least up to chapter 14, before taking it.
- Conor Sinclair3 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
Great course. So refreshing to go through and build a small well defined and useful utility - a great way to learn. Chris explains everything very succinctly. Thanks Chris!
- Jeffrey Friedman3 years agoWhat did you like about this course?
Straightforward and easy to follow, with a clear path forward for adding additional functionality on one's own.
