Your terminal can do more than you think and this workshop shows you how. Ratatui is the leading framework for building terminal user interfaces (TUIs) in Rust. This workshop by the framework's maintainer will get you cooking up some tasty terminal UIs in no time.


In this hands-on workshop, we will start with the basics of building terminal UIs using Ratatui and gradually introduce interactivity, layouts, and a variety of widgets. Although the material is prepared for beginners, don't worry - there will also be bonus stages for more advanced users. By the end, you will understand the core building blocks, feel more confident about structuring your application, and be ready to cook up your own TUIs!
