What is it?

Comprehensive Rust is the course material Google's Android team uses internally to teach Rust to experienced software engineers, usually those coming from C++ or Java. It covers the language from basic syntax through generics and error handling, and includes deep dives on Android, Chromium, bare-metal programming, and concurrency.

The course is written as an mdBook site and is designed for classroom delivery, with exercises and code samples meant to be run and discussed live. The repository holds the Markdown source, code snippets, and tooling; the published course is available at google.github.io/comprehensive-rust.

The project is aimed at teams who want to run their own Rust training. Because it is less suited to solo self-study, it is most useful to instructors and engineering managers planning a multi-day workshop.
