Sui Rust Blockchain Course (201-JVM)

📌 Course Overview

Welcome to the Rust-Based Sui Blockchain Course! This course will teach you how to build Sui blockchain applications using Rust, replacing Node.js dependencies, and ensuring ISO and IEEE compliance.

🎯 Course Objectives

By the end of this course, you will:

• Understand Java vs JavaScript vs Rust vs Move.
• Learn why blockchain projects depend on Node.js and how to replace it.
• Deploy Move smart contracts on Sui using Rust instead of TypeScript.
• Build Rust-based APIs for blockchain interaction (Axum, Actix-web).
• Create WASM-based dApps using Yew instead of React.
• Deploy a full Sui blockchain application without Node.js.
