+# Welcome
+
+Welcome to **"100 Exercises To Learn Rust"**!  
+
+This course will teach you Rust's core concepts, one exercise at a time. 
+In roughly 100 exercises, you'll go from knowing nothing about Rust to feeling productive on your own.  
+
+## Structure
+
+Each section in this course introduces a new concept or feature of the Rust language.  
+To verify your understanding, each section is paired with an exercise that you need to solve. 
+
+Each exercise is structured as a Rust package, located in the `exercises` folder.
+The package contains the exercise itself, instructions on what to do (in `src/lib.rs`), and a test suite to 
+automatically verify your solution.
+
+### `wr`, the workshop runner
+
+To navigate through the course, you will be using the `wr` CLI (short for "workshop runner").  
+Install it with:
+
+```bash
+cargo install --locked workshop-runner
+```
+
+In a new terminal, navigate back to the top-level folder of the repository.
+Run the `wr` command to start the course:
+
+```bash
+wr
+```
+
+`wr` will verify the solution to the current exercise.  
+Don't move on to the next section until you've solved the exercise for the current one.  
+
+Enjoy the course!
