Graph Algorithms with Rust teaches you to model real datasets as graphs and run the classical algorithms — BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, PageRank, and Kosaraju strongly-connected components — in cache-friendly Rust. Across five modules you walk through the same problems data engineers actually solve: loading edge lists into a graph, finding the shortest walking route between Lisbon landmarks, ranking sports websites by PageRank, scoring UFC fighters by centrality, and detecting communities in a Twitter-style follower graph.

What you'll learn
Implement BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, PageRank, and Kosaraju strongly-connected components from scratch in Rust using petgraph and aprender-graph
Apply each algorithm to a real dataset: a Lisbon walking-route graph, a sports link graph, UFC fight records, and a Twitter follower graph
Ship a clap-based command-line tool that exposes every algorithm as a subcommand and emits machine-readable JSON
