I'm contemplating Rust. Anyone have any book recommendations for a rusty fox?

#Rust #programming

@scarlet I have really, really enjoyed Hands-on Rust: Effective Learning through 2D Game Development and Play by Herbert Wolverson.

I’ve attached a photo of the Rust part of my tech shelf. All of these have been helpful on my learning journey.

@valthonis Thank you! I was just looking at the 2D Game Dev book. It looks like a fun way to go.

@scarlet
Official one is very recommended - https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ (and then, if curious, https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/ )

Also, I've considered a more compact one, course-compact, like https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/

The Rust Programming Language - The Rust Programming Language

@gemelen Niiice - I like free resources.
@scarlet bookmarking this post for the resources folks share :3 been curious about rust myself too!
@scarlet _Programming Rust_ (O'Reilly) by Blandy, Orendorff, Tindall is great, especially besides The Book! I also recommend _Rust in Action_ (Manning) by @timClicks .
@scarlet https://rust-lang.org/learn has all the resources I used. I recommend actually switching between multiple ones because they'll reinforce each other, and they work for different learning styles! I thought the Rustlings course was the most useful, tbh
Learn Rust

A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

@scarlet Can’t go wrong with this, but a newer addition will be available within the month. https://www.amazon.ca/Rust-Programming-Language-Steve-Klabnik/dp/1593278284
@scarlet Rust for Rustaceans, as your second book
