A personal learning repository where I explore Rust in Action — one chapter, one project at a time.
This repo serves as a learning log and project space as I read through Rust in Action. My goal is not just to follow along, but to truly understand the concepts by building and experimenting.
To enhance learning, I’ve developed a custom process:
- 🧾 For each exercise, instead of jumping straight to the provided solutions, I ask ChatGPT to generate a Practical Sheet — guided exercises that help me think through the project step-by-step. These are included in each folder.
- 🤖 I intentionally avoid using LLMs to write code directly. I may ask questions or seek clarification (like a mentor), but all implementations are my own — which means some solutions may differ from the book's, but they work!
| Chapter | Title | Status |

I learn best by doing — and by occasionally failing, fixing, and reflecting. This method:
- Reinforces the fundamentals of systems programming in Rust
- Builds problem-solving intuition
- Keeps the learning active and not just passive reading
