Mastering Cli App Development With Rust

Develop CLI applications with Clap

What you'll learn

Learning about different CLI app types and in general about CLI apps

Implementing a Prompt based application to use it with an AI MML

Using simple crates to draw nice CLI graphs and tables

Implementing traditional CLI apps to fetch data and output in different formats

Requirements

Basic Rust development knowledge

Description

Are you new to the world of command-line tools and curious about building practical, real-world applications in Rust? "Mastering CLI App Development with Rust" is the perfect place to start — even if you're a beginner in CLI app development.In this course, you’ll learn how to build two fully functional command-line interface (CLI) applications using Rust: a prompt-based CLI app that interacts with a Large Language Model (LLM), and a weather forecast CLI app that fetches live weather data from an API. These projects are designed to be approachable, yet useful, helping you understand the structure and workflow of CLI apps from the ground up.You’ll get hands-on experience working with standard input/output, argument parsing, making API requests, and integrating third-party crates to extend functionality. While this course doesn’t aim to teach Rust fundamentals in depth, it assumes basic familiarity with the language and focuses squarely on applying Rust to build real CLI tools.By the end of the course, you'll have a solid foundation in building command-line apps and be equipped to create your own tools that can interact with services, process data, and make your terminal more powerful.So I hope you will like this course and will get started on jumping into the CLI world!
