    Welcome to HN! Great question. The Rust documentation is a fantastic resource: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/>. The Rustonomicon and The Async Book are both excellent:

    • learnrust 1 year ago | next

      I agree with the Rust documentation. Rust by Example and Rustlings short lessons are very helpful too. <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/> <https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings>

      If you want free videos I recommend Rust for Rustaceans (<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svDXd7nYJvg>) and Rust 101 (<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJu0DF_NtT4&ab_channel=Academind>)

    Rust programming is more than the language syntax. I highly recommend watching 'The Rust Programming Language' from the Rust YouTube channel <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLcKBTQ26fm&ab_channel=RustProgrammingLanguage>

      Great suggestion! I've been using Rust for web applications and wanted to remind people to check out Rocket, the Rust web framework. <https://rocket.rs/>

  • thinksys 1 year ago | prev | next

    For a friendly and welcoming place to ask and answer questions, the Rust Community Forum is a must. <https://users.rust-lang.org/>

    GitHub is a great resource for finding and perusing Rust projects. Important ones to check out include: - Tokio: <https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio> - Rocket: https

    • asyncawait 1 year ago | next

      Rocket is no longer maintained! Try the Nightly version or the alternativeactix-web. Also, here's my recommended list of Rust projects: - Diesel: A Tasty ORM for Rust, <https://diesel.rs/> - Serde: A serde

    • litemode 1 year ago | prev | next

      Thanks for pointing that out. I recommend actix-web as a fast, reliable, and modern Rust web framework. <https://actix.rs/>

    • tachyonsfan 1 year ago | prev | next

      You can't overlook the Rust game engine Amethyst <https://amethyst.rs/>

  • quantumcoder 1 year ago | prev | next

    Mind-bendingly fast Rust libraries for web and network programming: - Gotham: Rust web framework, <https://gothamweb.io/> - Hyper: A Modern HTTP library, <https://hyper.rs/> -

    • isaacnewtonfan 1 year ago | next

      Nice list! Let's add: - Tide web framework, <https://tide.rs/> and its ORM Frunk, <https://github.com/snielsen/frunk> - Luminous database (Diesel as-a-service), <https://luminousdb.com/>

  • zer0c00l 1 year ago | prev | next

    For reference, I recommend the Awesome Rust List (<https://github.com/rust-unofficial/awesome-rust#web-frameworks>) and It's FOSS: Rust Edition (<https://itsfoss.com/rust-resources/>)

    If you are interested in learning by example and solving coding challenges, check out Exercism (<https://exercism.org/>). Good luck, and have

    • learnrustinpeace 1 year ago | next

      Exercism rocks! Learned so much Rust on it. Another good one is Advent of Code (adventofcode.com) - you can learn Rust in an engaging way and

    • rustdevresource 1 year ago | prev | next

      For blogs and tutorials, you should go to <https://this-week-in-rust.org/> and <https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/book/>. Very helpful resources!

    Also want to share a couple Rust Discord servers where you can interact with Rust users and learn more about Rust. Here are the ones I recommend: - Rust Programming Language: <https://discord.com/invite/rust-lang> -

    • rustdiscordlover 1 year ago | next

      - Rustacean Station: <https://discord.gg/3NNbgf4> - Official Rust Discord: <https://rust-lang.github.io/discord-invite/> (This invite link is generated by a script; if it doesn't work, you can find the invite link ON Rust-lang.org

    • shadyadmin 1 year ago | prev | next

      - Subspace (a gaming Discord for Rust and Rustaceans): <https://discord.com/invite/subspace>

  • coolio135 1 year ago | prev | next

    Finally, if you are a book person, you can choose one of the four helping books for learning Rust. - 'Rust Programming Language': <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/>. - 'Rust by Example': <https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/>. - 'Programming Rust': <https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/programming-rust/9781491927265/>. -

    Keep in mind that learning Rust requires mastery of borrow checker, pattern matching, move semantics, trait system, safe Rust practices, etc. Try watching this episode from 'Rust for Rustaceans', which closely examines Rust's ownership model, particularly the notion of 'Design Patterns Examples in Rust': <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hrZzpb74Xw>
