guide.elm-lang.org VS book

If you look at the repo for that guide (https://github.com/evancz/guide.elm-lang.org), the description and README clearly state that this is his book on learning Elm, so for me it makes complete sense that it is in the I-form. Maybe the fact that it's linked from the official Elm page without any mention of that causes a feeling of disconnect for you.

An Introduction to Elm (HTML)

I am continually perplexed how poor the official documentation is for Elm (https://guide.elm-lang.org). I love the language, I really enjoy working with it, but where does one go to see the complete API? In particular right now I'm trying to find more on setting various events and accessibility attributes in forms, and this is all I see on the official docs: https://guide.elm-lang.org/architecture/forms.html. Not even a label example on a form page? How is this considered good documentation for a language that has been around for a decade? Is there some secret handshake I need to learn to get access to more in-depth documentation of the language?

I think a good first step would be getting familiar with functional programming in general. I recommend working through the Elm Guide, which will get you acquainted with functional programming idioms and working with immutable data. Then, move on to an introductory Haskell resources, such as Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours. After that, hit up CodeWars and start solving puzzles in Haskell.

I think The Elm Guide does a very good job.

Check out Elm. Page 4 of the intro guide I linked offers something close, which you could build upon to create what you want there.

My advice is to follow the elm official guide. Anyway, any doubt you may have, ping me (gabber) on Elm official slack or write to #beginners channel!

This guide will help you learn and migrate to Elm with assumption you already know the basics of React. The Elm guide is great and will give you a thorough understanding of everything you need to know, in a good order.

The official Elm guide

My first port of call was to google learn rust which lead me to "the book". The book is a first steps guide written by the rust community for newbies (or Rustlings as they're called) to gain a 'solid grasp of the language'.

Before Prodzilla, I’d read 'The Book' a couple of times, and had made my way through Rustlings, but hadn’t yet built a serious project in Rust.

To answer your last question;

Start with the Rust book.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

Then do Rustlings until the syntax becomes muscle memory.

Then join the Discord and start doing little projects.

You won’t get up to the proficiency of other languages as quickly in Rust. It takes longer. For me it’s taking a lot longer, but I enjoy it.

Before diving into these repositories, familiarize yourself with Rust and its development ecosystem. The official Rust book is an excellent resource for developers at all levels. Each repository has documentation on how to contribute, covering code style, issue tracking, and pull requests.

This is my third Rust book after the official book and Rust in Action. The other two books are great, but they were too theoretical for me. I'm a slow learner and had much trouble grokking Rust's features and idiosyncrasies. When I was done with these books, I was lost and unsure of what I could do.

It's the same reason everything digital and downloadable isn't free: there's a cost to create it and there's a value to it.

For a language developer to charge for a book about that language, I think that's a completely valid way to make some money off of their work.

Even the Rust book, "The Rust Programming Language" is available freely online [0], but also as a print and ebook for sale via NoStarchPress [1].

You know you can just read it online right now in 2 different variants It does contain some systems programming.

I am looking at The Book (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/), but hoped there was an amazing person on youtube.

Yeah, I'll build something, finally trying webassembly.
