Rust Proactive Learning

This git repository serves as a Rust Playground to learn and understand the language:

• I wrote a blog post: How to learn a new programming language: Rust which will serve as a guide for the purpose.
• This README.md file will help you setup the IDE and tooling necessary to get started.
• The README.md also contains references, books and material I used to dive deeper into Rust.

Repo Organization

Each part that I learned is split up into different sub-projects that will address different parts of the language. Feel free to fork or clone this project and do not hesitate to contribute/collaborate.
