"Rust Training at Scale"
summary
Google documents a program that moves C/C++ engineers to Rust with a concentrated curriculum and hands-on classes, citing the industry ~70% of critical vulnerabilities due to memory unsafety and Android’s switch to Rust (AOSP: 2019 add, 2021 fully supported). The team builds a classroom-ready Rust Fundamentals (4-day) and four Deep Dives, publishes materials on GitHub (open course with 300 contributors, ~80% external), writes an mdBook translation plugin, and runs 100+ classes with top internal course ratings.
