Rustlings VS rust-by-example

If you want to try it and not jump into a project right away, take a look at rustlings, which are small step-by-step exercises to the main features of the language.

Rustlings: Quick exercises to get you reading and writing Rust.

Completed Rustlings

I’d suggest trying the rustlings exercises.

Start with the book (linked by /u/VLRbaXUjymAqyvaeLqUo). Complete Rustlings. Browse the starter pack for specific topic education. Do some advent of code in Rust.

Rustlings a project containing small exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code.

As for the Rust aspect, the same as everyone else - the book, rustlings, Doug Milford's tutorial, the beginner's guide etc. Find what works for you.

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

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.

Some tips for Rust: I went through Rust by Example religiously, prior to AOC. This helped a lot. And then the Too Many Lists guide when I needed to build some data structures (not lists per se, but rather figuring out how to deal with ownership in dynamic lists helped to build graph structures). That guide may be less adequate now, but these days, there's cheats.rs which looks like something that I was missing when writing then.

⭐ Rust By Example - Jorge Aparicio and Steve Klabnik - repo

I think rust by example might fit your requirements.

The best way to start is probably Rust By Example https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rust-by-example/ and Rustlings https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings/ . The key is to do the exercises "the hard way" and get some familiarity with the mechanics of coding in Rust. Once you've done that, reading TRPL will make a lot more sense.
