Rust for the Novice Programmer

Rust for the Novice Programmer

This is a guide to the Rust programming language for people who have little to no experience with programming in any language.

If you do have experience programming in other languages, other resources such as the official Rust Book may be more useful for you, as this book will try to explain a lot of basic programming concepts and ideas that may already be familiar to you.

With that, here's a basic introduction to programming and Rust!
