Learn Rust, Contribute to SAFE, and Save the World

I know this might be common knowledge already but if any newcomers fall in here then they might find it useful.

Anyone interested in Rust might like to have a read of:
“The Rust Programming Language” by Steve Klabnik Klabnik & Carol Nichols.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rust-Programming-Language-Manga-Guide/dp/1593278284

I have linked Amazon (UK) here - obviously other retailers are available and I would not recommend one over another.

Super @DGeddes

Anyone else looking for resources, do a google search for “awesome rust github” and you will find several curated lists, plenty of material from high to low. This one is very comprehensive: GitHub - rust-unofficial/awesome-rust: A curated list of Rust code and resources.
Not so much books or videos though, but plenty of repos.

Found a nice contribution from @nbaksalyar (from some time ago) in one of those lists, was some P2P or sockets thing, don’t remember now :slight_smile:

If you already do a fair bit of coding, but none in rust, you might find this 4:43 hour video worth seeing:

Coding a crate for EC2 short jobs. It has a nice tempo.

What’s good about these kind of videos, is that you’ll get so much information about the language specific details; what situation they are used, why, how and all sorts of related info that only a developer who fell into the traps would think of mentioning.

I noticed the conversation was a bit old. I have a bunch of links open, and am reading. I know there are online courses, and apps, and the like, that teach subjects like learning to code in Rust, but most of what I have come across assumes some level of programming knowledge. I am not a computer programmer, so would like something as novice as possible.

Others may disagree but its my impression that Rust would NOT be a good choice as a first programming language to learn.
Get 3 months study of Python or Javascript under your belt and perhaps have a go at Rust then.

codewithmosh.com has some good courses for beginners. Its not free but Mosh is definitely one of the better online teachers.
I dont have an affiliate link…
