easy_rust VS Exercism - Scala Exercises

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).

Exercism

Nice, this reminds me of Exercism, which I wish was more widely known since they seem to be good folks. (disclaimer, I donate to them)

Exercism, the free programming learning platform has initiated a challenge named: 48in24.

Last year, Exercism put together the #12in23 challenge. The goal was to learn a new programming language each month throughout the year. I was one of 135 people who completed the challenge, and I learned a lot along the way!

The list of languages contains every language on Exercism, excluding ones that I've used before, web languages, or ones that I can't download for some reason.

Learning by doing, with the help of mentors. Excellent way to learn a next language (as you are already familiar with the programming concepts).

Exercism is pretty good for beginners with some programming language, they are open source and worth contributing to.

> it might be more sustainable if courses were stored in a version controllable medium to facilitate multiple collaborators

My initial thought was to actually use GitHub to store the content. Either on Markdown or JSON - to have some version control. I like how Exercism [1] does it. But I thought it would be hard for teachers - unfamiliar with Git - to update lessons.

Then, I thought about implementing a version control system for the project but I felt I was overcomplicating things for an MVP. But I like the idea of having some kind of version control to improve collaboration.
