We actually had someone say that the new version is so much better than the old book, even though it's incomplete, that it's like a medical trial where the treatment is going so well it'd be unethical to keep people on the placebo. A bit hyperbolic, yes, but so is "this doesn't help anybody".
- hexane360 10y agoThis has been my experience. Just the layout alone is so much better for a programmer just diving into Rust.
- jventura 10y agoAlthough I have some years of practice in programming, I always prefer to learn new languages using some kind of practical tutorial that introduces the topics as we go along. I've just finished the guessing_game tutorial and really understood the general idea of cargo, externs, associated functions, etc. Congratulations, and I hope that the rest of the book is as practical on introducing the following concepts as the tutorial was for me..
- steveklabnik 10y agoThey're example driven, but most aren't as large as the Guessing Game is for the most part; the I/O project chapter is, and we'll probably have one more near the end of the book as well.
- Dowwie 10y agoI agree. With that given, this week, I published a rust tutorial based on my first completed project:. http://daringordon.com/rust_tutorials http://daringordon.com/rust_tutorials
- Graziano_M 10y agoI like Rust, but I was a lot more impressed with how Go introduces it. https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1 https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1
- elementalest 10y agoI found the new version significantly better than the old. I immediately 'got it' after reading some of the new chapters compared to the more complete old version which I sometimes struggled with for a while. I would definitely recommend this to rust beginners, and tell them to just use the old book where the new isn't complete.
