Stuck at 4.3 of the rust book. It's so hard for me.
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.

Easy Rust has been reborn on Manning as Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches
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)

I have returned
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.

What is the best course to start learning?
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).

Newbie here. Just finished reading the book. What now?

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

I have to admit. The free code camp course is a bit more sparing than I would have preferred. How did everyone learn Rust?
This is my favorite: https://github.com/Dhghomon/easy_rust

It's been 20 days since I started learning rust as my first language. Terrible experience. Should I move forward?
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).

Exploring the top Rust web frameworks
Actix Web is a production-grade, high-performance Rust web framework built on the actor model. It’s one of the most mature frameworks in the ecosystem and is known for its blazing speed, extensibility, and feature richness — though it may present a steeper learning curve compared to Axum or Rocket.

Rusty Backends
To find answers, we wanted to get our hands dirty with three popular Rust web frameworks including rocket, axum, and actix, and get a feeling for their performance, features, and most importantly the developer experience.

A recap about the Zentrox development
So, what framework do I use? Zentrox uses the actix_web framework which is a great library. My DevExp. with this tool was nice. It has good documentation and powerful tools. It was easy to implement for me as I was previously using Express.JS and Flask (Python). Actix also has other helper libraries for files, cookies, sessions,... which I use in my project as well.

Understanding AML/KYC: a light primer for engineers
APIs are often the key to enabling interoperability between AML/KYC solutions and other systems. Design APIs following RESTful principles—using libraries like ExpressJs (JavaScript), Flask (Python), or Actix Web (Rust)—ensuring they are stateless and support the JSON/XML formats expected by most systems. Use Swagger to generate detailed documentation for RESTful APIs to facilitate integration and ensure your APIs are easily consumable by other systems. If you’re building GraphQL APIs, using tools like Apollo Server, Prisma, or Graphene will allow for self-documenting APIs (through GraphQL introspection).
