I’ve used it the last few years to do Advent of Code (https://adventofcode.com/) and that’s been fun and challenging. Definitely recommend it. Better than trolling through a book of “now do this” examples if you’ve done other languages in the past.
I know that the "project" approach to learning a language works for some people, but I've found l greatly prefer to read a book from beginning to end before undertaking any projects. It helps me start out with a clear picture. I'm finding "Comprehensive Rust" to be fairly good so far. Thanks for all the help, everyone.
Thanks, I was looking for a more straightforward academic-style textbook for non-beginning programmers, but I'll make do with what is out there.
This is what I've been going through, sold as teaching rust to people who already know other languages. I'm not very far in at all, but it seems decent? https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/
