Want to get started with Rust?

Here are some resources that help you to get into the language!

🧵⬇️

1️⃣ "The Book"

This is the official Rust book. It covers everything the language has to offer and introduces feature after feature while enabling especially newbies to follow along from the simpler to the more difficult topics.

2️⃣ Rustlings

This project gives you small exercises that aim at getting you comfortable writing Rust code. Especially if you don't feel creative enough to think of a new project, this is a great way of still writing code.

github.com/rust-lang/rust…

3️⃣ Rust By Example

What you get here are examples of how certain concepts Rust introduces can be used. There is even an inline code editor where you can play around and let your code run.

doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rust-by…

4️⃣ Ferrous Teaching Materials

This is a slide deck introducing you to Rust and its features/concepts.

Great if you only want a more high-level overview and find your way yourself.

5️⃣ The Rust Reference

Not a tutorial, but the (nearly) full reference to the language. There will come a time where this comes in handier than only searching within the previously listed resources.

6️⃣ The Compiler Error Index

You will fight the compiler and borrow-checker, especially in the beginning.

The messages emitted are awesome, but if you need more information, this one will help you a lot.

7️⃣ Now Is Your Turn

Do you know any other awesome Rust resources that helped you with your journey in Rust? Or is there something you simply want to see covered here?

Feel free to add it so that everyone may profit!
