Rust Programming Master Class from Beginner to Expert - Generics and Deref Coercion in Smart Pointers

This tutorial covers the implementation of custom smart pointers in Rust, focusing on making them generic with type T. It explains deref coercion, a process where Rust automatically converts types to match function requirements. The tutorial includes examples and concludes with a discussion on advanced Rust topics.
