Microsoft has released a video course designed to teach Rust in 35 short lessons. The individual episodes range from three to five minutes long and teach the fundamentals of Rust development.

The course starts from showing how to download the tools you need to program with Rust, and continues through common concepts, and what's unique about Rust.
