To read this book, we assume intermediate Rust knowledge. If you are new to Rust, reading the Rust Book first is highly encouraged. You won't need to know 100% of the language, but you should know basic concepts (type system, generics, traits, borrow checking, safety).

Some familiarity with Godot is also necessary, although it is possible to learn gdext together with Godot. However, we won't reiterate basic Godot concepts -- so if you choose that approach, we recommend to read the official Godot tutorial in parallel.
