I've been getting early release PDFs of this book for a while now. I highly suggest it for moving from beginner to getting serious. I still think the Rust book is a better first read, but this is much more in depth and detailed.
One of the sections that was most useful to me was comparing how memory is laid out in a few different languages with a few different concrete code examples. These comparisons really helped me "get" borrowing.
- anamoulous 10y agoDid you pre-order the print book? Does that get you early access PDFs? Or does O'Reilly charge separately for the PDF and print?
- stusmall 10y agoI didn't pre-order the print, I just ordered the PDF version. If I remember correctly the print order didn't come with the PDF, but you get a discount if you get both. I'd check the site for details since this was getting on a year ago and my memory is poor.
- lsllc 10y agoAnnoyingly, O'Reilly doesn't do a bundle. In the end, I found a 40% discount code and bought both.
- lsllc 10y agoI'll second that recommendation.
