book VS rust-by-example

mdBook is a Rust-based tool to create Web-based books from vanilla Markdown files. Although it is quite minimalistic, you will bump into it quite often in the wild. Most notably, the Rust Book uses it. I see it quite often in the Nix ecosystem, too.

✅ Code Daily – Practice with small exercises (try Rustlings). ✅ Read the Official Book – Supplement with The Rust Programming Language. ✅ Join the Community – Engage on Rust’s Discord or forums. ✅ Build Projects – Apply concepts by creating CLI tools, web servers, or games.

Read the Rust Book: The official Rust book is a fantastic resource.

The Rust Book - Comprehensive guide to the language

Recently I got this obsession to learn Rust. While there are plenty of documentation around, like Rust Book, some good published books, tutorials, rustling, I always struggle to learn something when I am not doing something practical, so I have decided to go to my comfort zone and write a Kubernetes Controller using kube-rs.

My knowledge of Rust is rudimentary at best - if you asked me a week ago I would've told you it was nonexistent. When I started working on this my immediate thought process was to go and "learn Rust" - as in go read the Rust book. I was in the middle of reading what an integer was when I realized it probably wasn't the best use of my time.

Rust can feel a bit intimidating at first but once you start getting the hang of it, you will enjoy it a lot. It has a very well articulated documentation, which can be used as a good learning resource too. Some other resources for Rust include Rustlings and Rust-By-Example.

Rust by Example

Rust by Example: Collection of runnable examples, which many find useful to read

I think something went wrong there, I can find this (merged) PR with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-by-example/pull/1679/files that has the first example collecting into a string, (which is obv less effective). It was merged 2 weeks ago. I dont know why it isnt online yet.

I more or less went straight from The Book (see also Rust by Example) to Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists and code::dive conference 2014 - Scott Meyers: Cpu Caches and Why You Care and I've often seen PNGme suggested as the next step after that.

Context around the "rust by example" discussion from 2015: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-by-example/issues/390

The Rust By Example website is another helpful resource for learning Rust. It provides a series of interactive examples that demonstrate how to use various Rust features and libraries.

The book is great and was my original introduction to the language, but rustlings or Rust By Example might be more interesting for an interactive (and more self paced) approach.

Rust by Example: Rust by Example is a collection of runnable examples that cover a wide range of Rust concepts and standard libraries. It's a great way to see how Rust code works in practice.
