# 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/).
---
# Who am I?
- Bachelor's of Science from College of William and Mary, majoring in CS
- Nearly five years employed as software engineer focusing on server-side
automation and support self-service
- Using Rust productively for over three years
