I recall that the Rust book is awesome, it should cover everything essential! I don't know the other two, but rustlings probably follows the same path and might be a good sidecar for exercising :)
Good luck in your journey!

Thanks! The Rustlings course is interesting because it kind of presents you with code to fix without having explained how to fix it.
This is kind of fun because I get to try to apply my knowledge from other languages to see if similar things exist in rust.
Otherwise, there is a hint feature to help you along. They also recommend following along with the Rust book when doing it, which I have been, so it has been quite informative!
There's some great YouTube content out there: https://youtube.com/@noboilerplate https://youtube.com/@letsgetrusty
Awesome, thank you! I had not yet looked for any video tutorials, so this is great!
What you have listed is a good start. https://www.rust-lang.org/learn has additional resources as well once you have gotten through those.
Wonderful, thank you!
My biggest advice when learning Rust is to use it the way you would use any other language. Learning about its advanced and unique features will likely distort how often you will be using or coming across them.
Rust is a very powerful and friendly language without using complicated things like boxes, dyns, refcells, rcs, arcs, etc. When you come across the need to use those features, they will make a lot more sense because you will see how they are relevant to your specific task at hand.
Thank you, this is great information.
