  1. HandsOnRust

    The source code that accompanies Hands-on Rust: Effective Learning through 2D Game Development and Play by Herbert Wolverson

    But if you really want to follow more things then hands on rust and zero to production are two good quality books for learning rust through game dev and web development respectively. But I would still urge you to try a few things by yourself first.

  3. awesome-rust

    A curated list of Rust code and resources.

    I did find the official https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ quite useful, it's more than enough to understand the language itself. Command-line programing is not a complicated thing, basically you have the CLI arguments, environment variables, stdin-stdout-sterr and nothing else. A few crates to start with: clap, dotenv, config, log4rs. Just go the crate documentation, there are many good examples there, no other book is neccessary. If you have a specific problem to solve, start to browse crates.io or https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust for possible solutions.
