About this course

You finished the course (or you're skipping ahead, which is fine too). A bit of background, in case you're curious.

Why this course exists

There's no shortage of Rust resources. The official book is excellent, and you should read it. So is Rust by Example, and plenty of others.

What was missing, for me, was a path you could open in a browser and just do. Not a book to read on the couch, not a lecture to watch on 2x speed: a sequence of small, real problems with tests that turn green. Something where the code leaves your fingers and lands in the machine right away.

These exercises started as a folder on my laptop, the kind of thing I'd pull out whenever someone asked "where do I start with Rust?" Over the years it grew into a structured path through the language. This site is that path, with an editor attached.

How to keep going

The course covers the core mechanics. Real fluency comes from using those mechanics on problems that matter to you. A few suggestions:
