Working Through the Course

The learn-to-code-with-rust folder contains multiple directories. Each folder is an independent Cargo project with a Cargo.toml file.

At the start of each course section, you'll find a note listing the Cargo project for that course.

For example, the next section is called "Variables and Mutability" and has a corresponding variables-and-mutability folder.

Open up the section's folder in VSCode. There are two ways to accomplish this:

In VSCode, access the main menu. Select File > Open Folder.... Locate the section's project folder on your file system and select it.

In Terminal/PowerShell, navigate into the section's folder with the cd command. Then, open the folder in VSCode with code .

$ cd variables-and-mutability

$ code .
