HandsOnRust reviews and mentions

• ECS, Finally
  4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Dec 2023

  I'm working my way through the HandsOnRust book that guides you through creating a simple roguelike using Rust and Legion ECS. It's a really enjoyable experience so far, and I'm looking towards trying out Bevy ECS afterwards to compare the two.

• Disappointing experience with 'Command-Line Rust': Seeking more comprehensive Rust resources
  5 projects | /r/rust | 8 Apr 2023

  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.

• Learning Rust with “Hands On Rust”
  1 project | /r/rust | 20 May 2022

  Started learning rust a while ago but I needed something to walk me through the features while building something useful. I discovered Hands On Rust and have learned more in 3 hours of building flappy bird clones than in two weeks of experimenting with tutorials.

• I'm a beginner and write Go code. Is there anything similar to 'Let's Go' for Rust?
  3 projects | /r/rust | 4 May 2022

  There is Zero To Production In Rust which goes through building a webserver in rust from the ground up. Or Hands on rust for learning rust by building a game.

• Any good books for studying rust?

  Some (optionally) in print: * Rust in Action * Programming Rust * Hands-On Rust * Rust for Rustaceans

• Give advice to a code illiterate to start learning
  1 project | /r/rust_gamedev | 19 Feb 2022

  Game development though might be a harder place to start. You may find other more basic areas easier to get going. Though there is a good book on learning rust with game dev Hands on Rust that you might find enough.

• The Rust Programming Book is not good for Beginners?
  2 projects | /r/rust | 5 Feb 2022

  Other books/resources you might find helpful - Rust by example - a good compliment to The Book that shows concepts with examples. Though does not explain things as much. - Zero To Production In Rust - a look at webservers and taking them to production (still being written though) - Hands on rust - a look at introducing rust with gamedev. - Easy rust - Many more listed here

• Trying to decide a roadmap for becoming a Rust developer. / Good beginner projects to try?

• Question about bracket-lib and how fonts and images are loaded
  1 project | /r/rust | 11 Jan 2022

  This is a beginner question. I'm following Hands-On Rust to build simple games. One thing that isn't clear to me so far is how `bracket-lib` actually load the fonts and image of different characters from a single PNG file. Is the PNG file segmented in certain pixel values so that `bracket-lib` could access each square of the image like an array? Does this mean that this PNG file must be always designed in specific ways? Thanks for helping!

• Sharing Saturday #387
  1 project | /r/roguelikedev | 6 Nov 2021

  One year ago, I released the first beta for Hands-on Rust. What a wild and awesome ride it has been! The book has been on the publisher's best sellers list for 50 of the last 52 weeks, since the print edition came out it's been in Amazon's top 10-20 for "C Language" and sometimes "Game Development" most of the time. I had a "good grief, am I famous?" moment when a relative (who works for one of the huge American social media companies) sent me a pic showing Hands-on Rust sitting on his boss's desk.
