# 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.html

Hello, world!

$ 

```


If you'd like to see what we'll be building, check out [the repo on Github](https://github.com/jesselawson/tinymd).
