The need for more documentation and guidance was becoming +apparent: it was about time to have a tutorial! + +## New resources to learn more about hax + +The [hax book](https://hacspec.org/book/) has three new chapters: + - The [Quick start](https://hacspec.org/book/quick_start/intro.html) + chapter explains how to go from a simple Rust crate to an F* + extraction via hax, including how to install the tooling. + - The [Tutorial](https://hacspec.org/book/tutorial/index.html) + chapter goes more in depth into using hax and F* together in order + to prove various properties about Rust code. + - The [FAQ](https://hacspec.org/book/faq/into.html) chapter is a work + in progress, but is intended to anwser pragmatically and with + examples to precise common issues or questions. Feel free to open + an issue on the [book + repository](https://github.com/hacspec/book/issues) if you feel like a topic should be addressed! + +We also added several examples of Rust verification via hax and F* in +the [example +directory](https://github.com/hacspec/hax/tree/main/examples) of hax, +please check them out! + +
