International Acceleration - Rust Full Stack Development

Build a product customization and recommendation e-commerce, similar to "Build your own computer" features found in major e-commerce platforms like Kabum and Pichau, to acquire highly demanded skills in the market using the Rust language.  

Explore the power of Rust and its application in web development, using the Rocket and Leptos frameworks to create a CRUD capable of establishing routes, managing endpoints, efficiently handling authentication, and managing user interaction through a reactive system, template library, and a router that works both on the server and client.

Experience a low-level language as expressive and intuitive as a high-level one, with a friendly syntax focused on utilizing hardware performance efficiently, extremely fast, and performant.

This acceleration program prepares professionals for exciting opportunities outside Brazil with 100% English technical sessions. It offers free workshops for technical advancement, as well as networking and connections with international recruitment partners for major global companies.

What you will see in this acceleration:

 

Session 01: 09:00 AM - 09:20 AM | Refresher of the necessary Rust knowledge for web development

We will use this time to refresh the concepts that will be most used during the application development. Specifically, we will take a brief look at Rust's ownership and borrowing model and explore mechanisms to share resources between endpoint calls.

We will also delve into the workings of procedural macros and derive macros, widely used tools in libraries to reduce boilerplate code.

Session 02: 09:20 AM - 10:40 AM | Database modelling and Backend Development with Rust and Rocket Framework

We will start with the database and relationship modeling based on the application requirements. Then, we will build the backend application using the Rocket framework. We'll configure a Postgres relational database with Docker to facilitate local development and learn how to share the database pool between endpoint calls.

Finally, we will develop a REST API, defining the back-front communication contract using the ubiquitous JSON format. We will validate received payloads effortlessly and automatically with the serde library, capable of deserializing them directly into predefined data structures and natively supported by Rocket.

Session 03: 10:40 AM - 12:00 PM | Frontend Development with Rust, Rocket and Leptos Framework

In this session, the frontend of the application will be developed. Screens will be built using the Leptos framework, allowing the writing of components and the manipulation of the application state similarly to how React does.

We will use routers to redirect the user between screens and consume the API built on the server-side, optimizing the application for the end client. However, the pages will not be entirely static, as Leptos has a rehydration mechanism, allowing initially server-side rendered components to become reactive again. This technique reduces the initial loading time of the screen, commonly used as a parameter for ranking by search engines such as Google.
