If you want to roll your own check out the Anchor Framework. There are also deployed contracts that you can use like Gem Farm.

To code in Rust and deploy contracts on solana, I would recommend the anchor framework https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor

//Rust curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh source $HOME/.cargo/env rustup component add rustfmt //Solana sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.9.1/install)" //Yarn npm install -g yarn //Anchor (install wsl in VSC) npm i -g @project-serum/anchor-cli cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor --tag v0.24.2 anchor-cli --locked sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config build-essential libudev-dev

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor anchor-cli --locked

https://tourofrust.com/ is fun. Learning rust has a weird initial learning curve dealing with the aggressive analyzer/compiler and how you have to approach your variables, but after that initial hump it is one of the coziest languages I've used. Having what was initially a bit of a nag, is now a godsend when i'm getting red-squiggles in vscode for a typo in my SQL string for a misnamed column, or a field in my template was removed and so my struct shows how it's now unused.

1. 👶 Tour of Rust is a step-by-step guide for the Rust programming language. It gives a nice overview of the language and allows the learner to also modify the code examples to experiment.

Another good learning resource is the Tour of Rust, which is more hands-on than The Book. It has a code example (which you can edit and run directly) in every section.

The bonus by learning this way is that the Rust compiler gives amazing feedback allowing you to intentionally experiment by breaking the examples. https://tourofrust.com/ was my first superficial pass.

I really liked https://tourofrust.com/ Helped me a ton.
