Rust Programming Tutorials

A collection of small Rust tutorial projects and examples to help you learn the language by doing. Each folder contains a tiny Cargo project (or example) demonstrating a core Rust concept.

Contents

• hello-world/ — very small programs (including a simple helloworld and guessing_game).
• hello_cargo/ — demonstrates creating and building a Cargo package.
• ownership/ — examples that explain Rust's ownership model.
• programming_concepts/ — subfolders for control flow, datatypes, functions, etc.
• structs/ — examples showing structs and associated methods.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Rust toolchain (install via rustup): https://rustup.rs
• Recommended: cargo, rustc, and rust-analyzer for editor support.

Quick commands

Build a crate (from the crate folder):

cd hello_cargo
cargo build

# run the binary
cargo run

Build and run the guessing game example:

cd hello-world/guessing_game
cargo run

Build all workspace crates (simple approach using find):

# from the repo root
find . -maxdepth 3 -type f -name Cargo.toml -execdir cargo build \;

Run tests (where present):

cd path/to/crate
cargo test

Project structure and notes

This repository is intentionally organized as individual small projects so you can open a single folder in your editor and focus on a single topic. Each subfolder contains a Cargo.toml and a src/main.rs unless the folder is purely an example.

IDE / Editor recommendations

• Visual Studio Code with the rust-analyzer extension.
• Install rustfmt and clippy for formatting and linting:

rustup component add rustfmt clippy

Contributing

Contributions and pull requests are welcome. Suggested small ways to contribute:

• Add more small examples and short comments explaining tricky parts.
• Add exercises or small challenges with solutions under an exercises/ folder.
• Improve README or per-project READMEs with usage notes.

If you want, I can:

• Commit this README.md and finish the initial commit for the repo, or
