Thanks! I am looking at The Book ( https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ ), but hoped there was an amazing person on youtube. Yeah, I'll build something, finally trying webassembly.

There's a Youtube playlist I stumbled on. It follows along with the Rust Book.

Read the Rust Book. Rust is not like other languages, you need to understand the fundamentals before staring a project, otherwise you will get frustrated.

Same with C++. Even C++98/03 becomes beautiful after reading TC++PL.

I have found ChatGPT to be most useful as a way of explaining tricky code examples in Rust.

So while going through Rust by Example, I'll paste programs into ChatGPT and have a conversation with it about how specific pieces work. I've also done LeetCode problems and then asked ChatGPT for feedback about my approach.

A good resource for learning ownership, borrowing, references and all that jazz: https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/

Thanks. I've been learning rust and haven't run across this yet.

Build something. I think making an actix-web REST API is a great place to start

Create a Rust program that writes a PPM file to stdout of a shape you want to draw.

Ask ChatGPT to give you example programs you need to implement based on part of rust you want to learn.

I found that the oriely book "Programming in Rust" to be very thorough and helpful for me. It helped me really understand the concepts of Rust. Although the free rust documentation is fantastic too!
