Welcome everyone to Week 1, Chapter 1 of #ScryptoClassof2022. This all started as just a random post I made in the Radix telegram wondering if I could find a couple others who would join me in learning the basics of Rust in order to learn and start making really cool things with Scrypto. The response has been amazing! ![image](https://radixtalk.com/uploads/default/original/1X/976637fb64775b874e2f31453be309de14401eef.jpeg) We will cover the first 8 chapters from “The Rust Programming Language” by Steve Klabnik and Carol Nichols. This should be sufficient rust knowledge to really be able to get going with Scrypto. The plan is to do 1 chapter each week starting this week (June 12th 2022). Everyone who would like to join us, please start reading Chapter 1. I have had now had the opportunity to meet both Clement and Omar who will be assisting us with questions, and we have some seriously smart people to help us along. I am more confident than ever that whoever shows up, reads the chapter each week and participates in discussions will be able to conquer Rust & Scrypto! Discussions for this group will take place in the Radix discord in the Scrypto-class-of-2022 group. We will also be scheduling weekly live Q&As for any and all problems for the content we go over each week. Right now we are tentatively scheduling these on Sundays each week. Let’s Get Rusty video covering chapter 1 content!
