Other Rust Resources

The Rust community has created a wealth of high-quality and free resources online.

Official Documentation

The Rust project hosts many resources. These cover Rust in general:

• The Rust Programming Language: the canonical free book about Rust. Covers the language in detail and includes a few projects for people to build.
• Rust By Example: covers the Rust syntax via a series of examples which showcase different constructs. Sometimes includes small exercises where you are asked to expand on the code in the examples.
• Rust Standard Library: full documentation of the standard library for Rust.
• The Rust Reference: an incomplete book which describes the Rust grammar and memory model.

More specialized guides hosted on the official Rust site:

• The Rustonomicon: covers unsafe Rust, including working with raw pointers and interfacing with other languages (FFI).
• Asynchronous Programming in Rust: covers the new asynchronous programming model which was introduced after the Rust Book was written.
• The Embedded Rust Book: an introduction to using Rust on embedded devices without an operating system.

Unofficial Learning Material

A small selection of other guides and tutorial for Rust:

• Learn Rust the Dangerous Way: covers Rust from the perspective of low-level C programmers.
• Rust for Embedded C Programmers: covers Rust from the perspective of developers who write firmware in C.
• Rust for professionals: covers the syntax of Rust using side-by-side comparisons with other languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python.
• Rust on Exercism: 100+ exercises to help you learn Rust.
• Ferrous Teaching Material: a series of small presentations covering both basic and advanced part of the Rust language. Other topics such as WebAssembly, and async/await are also covered.
• Advanced testing for Rust applications: a self-paced workshop that goes beyond Rust’s built-in testing framework. It covers googletest, snapshot testing, mocking as well as how to write your own custom test harness.
• Beginner’s Series to Rust and Take your first steps with Rust: two Rust guides aimed at new developers. The first is a set of 35 videos and the second is a set of 11 modules which covers Rust syntax and basic constructs.
• Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists: in-depth exploration of Rust’s memory management rules, through implementing a few different types of list structures.
