# Getting Started with Rust
**[Read the book online (HTML)](https://jesselawson.github.io/getting-started-with-rust/)**
Hi 👋 I'm Jesse, and this is a free online book for anyone who is curious about
the Rust programming language but doesn't know where to start. My teaching
philosophy is _"move slow and make things."_Over this book's six chapters, we'll learn how to program in Rust while building a
rudimentary Markdown compiler—a command-line interface tool that takes
a Markdown file as input, converts it to HTML, and writes that HTML to another
file.For example:
```
$ echo "# Hello, world!" > some.md
$ tinymd some.md
Compile Markdown...
Done!
$ cat some.htmlHello, world!
$
```If you'd like to see what we'll be building, check out [the repo on Github](https://github.com/jesselawson/tinymd).
