  • I think writing Rust versions of existing command-line tools like head and cat are useful. Here are a bunch of examples complete with tests you can use: https://github.com/kyclark/command-line-rust

  • book

    The Rust Programming Language

  • I recommend PNGme. It's intended to be done after the Book.

  • 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.

  • clap-rs

    A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust

  • Project-wise, Rust is fantastic for building CLI tools. clap is a popular crate that helps with argument parsing. IMO creating a small clone of a CLI tool you like to use is a great way to learn the language.
