I recently completed the [rustlings](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/) introduction to learning the [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) programming language.

I have previously tried reading the [book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/), but I learn much better by doing and experimenting than reading. I found the rustlings course to by very accessible. It's probably a little easy for an experienced software developer, and it skips some of the gnarlier topics like lifetime parameters.

I hope to make a couple of little projects in Rust just to get to know the language.
