I've been learning Rust for a few weeks now, and the official Rust documentation has been really helpful. I also like the Rustlings project for practice.

@johnsmith I agree, the Rust documentation is top-notch, especially for a language in active development like Rust. I'd also add the book 'Rust Programming Language' to the list.

@doejones Yes, it's a very comprehensive guide. It covers the basics and more advanced topics, and it's written in a way that's easy to understand.

I've heard good things about the Rust Programming Language book. Is it a comprehensive guide to the language?
doejones 1 year ago next
@sarahwilliams I'd say so. It starts with the fundamentals and gradually builds up to more complex topics. I've found it to be a really valuable resource when learning Rust.

If you're looking for a more hands-on approach, I'd recommend the Exercism Rust track. It gives you a series of challenges to complete, and you can get feedback on your solutions.

@mikebrown That's a great suggestion. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

I've been using the Rust Playground for practicing and testing out code snippets. It's a great tool for experimenting with the language.

@alicejones The Rust Playground is definitely a handy tool. I've used it a lot when I'm still trying to get the syntax right before moving on to something more complex.

The Rust Discord community is also a great resource. Lots of helpful people and a place to ask questions and get help if you're stuck.

@bobwilliams I've been thinking about joining Discord, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Do you need to have a certain level of experience to join the Rust Discord?
bobwilliams 1 year ago next
@alicejones Nope! All levels of Rust experience are welcome. There's a lot of knowledge sharing, so even if you're just starting out, you can learn a lot from others.
