Prerequisites

To get the most out of this course, it is recommended that you have a basic understanding of programming concepts such as variables, functions, loops, and conditionals. Familiarity with any programming language will be beneficial, but it is not required.

Getting Started

To follow along with the course, you'll need to set up your development environment. Here are the steps to get started:

1. Install Rust: Visit the official Rust website (https://www.rust-lang.org) and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

2. Choose an IDE or Text Editor: You can use any text editor or Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Rust development. Some popular choices include Visual Studio Code with the Rust extension, IntelliJ IDEA with the Rust plugin, or Sublime Text with Rust Enhanced.

3. Verify Installation: Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command to verify that Rust is installed correctly:

   $ rustc --version

   If you see the Rust version printed, you're good to go!
