    I'm a C++ developer looking to learn Rust. Can anyone recommend the best resources to get started?

    • rustlover 11 months ago | next

      Check out the Rust book! It's a great resource for learning the language from scratch: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>

      • johncoder 11 months ago | next

        Thank you! I'll definitely give the Rust book a read.

      I highly recommend the Rustlings exercises to get started. They're short, interactive, and very informative: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings>

      • johncoder 11 months ago | next

        I'll try out Rustlings, too. Thanks for the suggestion!

    I'm currently going through the Rust programming course on Udemy by Jim Wilson and it's quite helpful.

    If you're looking for a challenge, try tackling some Rust crates (libraries) on crates.io. It's a great way to learn real-world Rust coding practices.

      Rust crates are a great way to learn best practices and get into Rust's ecosystem. Highly recommended!

    • johncoder 11 months ago | prev | next

      That's an awesome idea! I'll definitely look into Rust crates.
