+
+This is an intro project to rust.
+
+Purpose of this is to explain the structure of rust programming language.
+
+Prerequistites:
+
+1. cargo // it is a package manager for rust just like npm is for nodejs.
+2. rust // installation guide here: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
+
+How to run this project:
+
+`cargo run` in the root folder of this project
+
+Creating a similar project:
+`cargo init` in the folder where you want to create the project
+
+Basic Project Structure:
+
+Executing `cargo init` will initialize a basic rust project which consists of the following
+
+1. 'src' folder containing main.rs
+2. Cargo.lock file
+3. Cargo.toml file
+
+Cargo.toml contains the project information and the dependencies of the project.
+
+Cargo.lock is auto generated according to the Cargo.toml when the project is run.
+
+By default the entry point of any rust project is src/main.rs
+
+Rust files have .rs extention
+
+After the prject is run with `cargo run`, the target folder is created in the root directory of the rust project which contains the binaries ( executables ).
+
+You can also compile an individual rust file with `rustc` ( rust compiler ).
+
+Make sure to add target folder in .gitignore file.
+
+To get started in rust, go ahead and change the `Hello, world!` in the main.rs with your name.
+
+For any tech related queries feel free to reach me out through nizthedev.web.app
+
+Happy Coding!
