Rust State Machine: PBA-X

Purpose

This repository was developed to follow an optional assignment from Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA-X). Additionally, due to my limited knowledge of Rust prior to this assignment, this repository has a few adjunct resources for what commands and concepts were learned during the coding process.

The associated interactive tutorial is available on dotcodeschool with the title Rust State Machine: Basic Concepts or Blockchain Development. The GitHub source is available at here.

Personal Notes Documentation

This repository serves as both a learning resource and a practical implementation of blockchain concepts using Rust and Polkadot. I've included some helpful concept breakdowns in the /notes directory.

• code_execution_in_rust.md: Explains Rust code execution and compilation
• polkadot_architecture.md: Details Polkadot's blockchain architecture
• types_and_operations.md: Covers Rust types and operations
• variables_in_rust.md: Documents Rust variable handling

Conclusion

This repository serves as both a learning resource and a practical implementation of blockchain concepts using Rust and Polkadot. The included notes provide detailed explanations of key concepts learned during development.
