easy_rust VS AdventOfCode2020

There's also Easy Rust, an effort in translating the Rust Book into Simple English (limited vocabulary, limited use of idioms), which has now become a Book.

Up on Manning starting this week is a book I wrote / am writing called Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches, whose origins date back to Easy Rust that people here might be familiar with and which I wrote 2 years ago. The first six chapters are now up on MEAP which is pretty exciting. (The code mlmacleod gives 45% off until February 2 btw)

Easy Rust - David MacLeod

Along with the Book, I wrote a book after learning Rust that's for absolute beginners, and doesn't even require installing Rust. It's almost entirely done in the Playground so you can just open up a tab in your browser and follow along. As far as paid books are concerned, my favourite is Programming Rust.

Easy Rust OR GH Page

I made a book for absolute complete beginners, after which the Book should be easy to understand. After that I'd recommend Programming Rust (my favourite book on Rust).

Depends on what language you come from. I found this a decent enough intro for most languages: https://github.com/Dhghomon/easy_rust

This is my favorite: https://github.com/Dhghomon/easy_rust

I put together a book that goes over most of the same content found in The Book but written with easy / straightforward English (partially for English L2 speakers but also for English speakers that just want the info in as straightforward a package as possible).

AoC 2020 was like that too.

As a reminder, https://adventofcode.com/2020 started jumping at day 8

I learned Zig first from the official guide at https://ziglang.org/learn/getting-started/, then from https://ziglearn.org/. I also used Zig to go through https://adventofcode.com/2020, which more about solving given tasks. At certain point you will be ready to read source code of Zig's std library in place for documentation.

Go through the AdventOfCode in C# - it will show you what you are missing when it comes to data types and algorithms.

Phew, almost 2 hours of intense coding. This was an incredibly difficult day. Got flashbacks to day 20 of last year.

This is the seventh year puzzles, if you want to check out previous years take a look at: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
