    :crab: Small exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code!

  • For learning the basics of the Rust language, I think that the best way to do that is to complete Rustlings, which contains a good amount of small exercises to complete with Rust. In my experience, doing different kinds of tasks helps to learn concepts better and become more familiar with them.

  • rust-by-example

    Learn Rust with examples (Live code editor included)

  • Other good ways for learning are reading the official Rust book which is free to read online but pays a little bit like a physical book. For more alternative and more practical resources I will suggest looking out Rust by example where concepts of the Rust book have been taken into real-life usage.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Rust is an open-source systems programming language that focuses on speed, memory safety, and parallelism. Developers are using Rust to create a wide range of new software applications, such as game engines, operating systems, file systems, browser components, and simulation engines for virtual reality.
