+
+# What is this course?
+
+This course will focus on computational problem solving using Rust as a first
+language. _It aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to write
+programs to solve problems._
+
+Consider this an introductory, "101"-level computer science course on
+programming fundamentals taught by Carpenter Tutoring.
+
+---
+
+# Who is this course for?
+
+- people in school who are new to computer programming
+- people with careers who want to use programming to get work done
+- people who tinker with machines and want to experiment with programming
+
+Computer programming is for everyone, not just a select few ("programmers").
+Text processing and number crunching i.e., working with data, are two primary
+instigators for computer programming. Everyone will likely find these things
+useful.
+
+_This course is for everyone who wants to solve problems using computers._
+
+---
+
+# Who is this course _not_ for?
+
+- people who are already proficient in programming
+- programmers who want to pick up Rust fast
+- people who aren't interested in learning something hard to make life easy
+
+---
+
+# Materials
+
+This course is a translation from one language to another. Instead of being
+taught in Python, it's being taught in Rust.

+The above textbook is used for course framework and method. The syntax and other
+language content comes from the [Rust Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/).
