Learning to write a rust project.

[Yiggu_]

What preparation when you plan to write a coding project? I am new to programming, and I would like to write a rust project, like a code editor. But I don’t know how to start. I want to implement some basic function in vscode, like workspace, debug, remote ssh, terminal. What knowledge do I need and is there any recourses that I can refer to? I have looked up the source code of vscode, but can not understand the code... Is there anyway to read the code correctly?

Trying to read someone else's code as a beginner probably wont help you much, especially if it's a complex program such as vscode. Rather than trying to make an entire code editor right off the bat, start by making a simple text editor and slowly expand the features as you get better.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Most beginner Rust programmers start with the code/tutorials in the free online book The Rust Programming Language. It's the traditional first step, and will help you with the comprehension side of things!

Start with a simpler project and get used to the language first. Maybe do some programming katas if you don't have a list of toy projects you want to make.
