Module
Build A Simple File Explorer in Rust
In this tutorial series, you will write a file explorer in Rust. A file explorer is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool that allows users to browse, access, organize, and manage files and folders on a computer or other storage device. It displays a hierarchical view of the file system, making it easier to locate and interact with data.
In the first part of the series, you will prepare the initial structure of the project, write a software architecture documentation and a README file that describes the project, and understand the scope of the project.
✍️ As this series is in active development, the description above will be updated to accurately match the progress of this Learn module.
