Introduction to Rust Rookie

Introduction

Rust Rookie, just as the self-explanatory name entails is a technical content website where Rust "rookies" can begin their Rustlang journey. As we progress, we'll learn several Rustlang concepts accompanied with intuitive examples for all levels.

So, for absolute beginners it is advisable to follow the content chronologically but for familiar developers, you can jump around as you please.

Prerequisites to learning Rust

Though not compulsory a background in object oriented languages such as C, C++ or Java will simplify the learning curve for a Rust rookie.

While on this journey it will be great to have a farmiliar face that also happens to be a rookie at Rust accompanying us, so let's get acquainted to a friend.

Hello, I'm Rookie, Rust Rookie. Just as my name entails, I am new to Rust as I can assume that you might also be, let's get on this journey together and try to learn what the Rustlang is all about and create cool stuff while at it.

Whenever you see my rust face, you can take note of that important tip, copy or practice that code block.

I'll also emphasize on important Rustlang concepts.

See you around.

When we need to view and learn off a practical example, the code blocks will be presented as follows.

Here's a code block example:

fun main() {
  let name = "Rookie";
  let name = "Rust Rookie";

  println("My name is {}", name);
}

For emphasis on Rustlang concepts and important notes, Mr. Rookie will be highlighing them as follows.
