  • book

    The Rust Programming Language

  • Make sure you’ve worked through the book and then consider this: https://picklenerd.github.io/pngme_book/

  • black-hat-rust

    Applied offensive security with Rust - https://kerkour.com/black-hat-rust

  • cli

    GitHub’s official command line tool

  • ah, you're talking about https://cli.github.com/ - gotcha. I think I heard about somewhere previously, but never got around to checking it would. will definitely do that now :-)

  • cross

    Discontinued “Zero setup” cross compilation and “cross testing” of Rust crates [Moved to: https://github.com/cross-rs/cross] (by rust-embedded)

  • The -musl targets for Linux make it easy to dodge the need to compile against the oldest glibc you want to support if your project is pure Rust and cross is a Docker wrapper which aims to make cross-targeting in other scenarios as easy as with Go.)

  • kondo

    Cleans dependencies and build artifacts from your projects.

  • This is exactly how I started on kondo. I was regularly running rm -rf on my JavaScript projects because they ate so much space on my old laptop that I used it as a learning exercise to write that functionality in rust.

  • 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.
