I want to learn Rust. There are so many resources available and I am unsure which one to go for, and if there are any tips on getting started?
I am a software developer by trade
Edit: Thanks for all the great replies!
- Combine iron with moist air.
- Wait.
Just hop on a public server and try to make some friends. If you join right after a wipe there will be lots of nakeds on the beach looking for fun.
As a wise person once told the Internet, don’t worry about picking the best one. But if you really had to pick one just start with the rust book. https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ I would suggest to just dive in with a specific need you want to solve and instead of using your language of choice just use rust and look up stuff as you go. Hands on learning is usually the best learning. The only thing you need to “learn” is how to follow the ownership/borrowing paradigm that rust brings to the table.
I’m looking at this book now and I guess I’ll keep reading, but the early parts are quite verbose and I keep waiting to get to a description of the language. Something like “Rust for C++ programmers” might be worth a shot: https://github.com/nrc/r4cppp
There are a few different things like that for Ada. There are also a few “Rust for Haskell programmers” and I might look at a few of those.
There’s also Rust for the Polyglot Programmer which seems to be a generic version of those.
I just found https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/ today. Structured course developed by Google for its Android devs.
