Good times! And to those that like me enjoy a good dead trees-based book to learn a language, the Rust Book (from NoStarch publishing) arrived yesterday at my door :)

- wyldfire 8y agoI've been reading the O'Reilly book but I'll look at TRPL next. BTW I'm read this on Safari: Steve, do you know how publishers/authors get compensated for Safari books? Are there just normal royalties or is it somehow negotiated in a bulk rate? EDIT: Steve answers a semi-related question in [1] [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/8u0ggw/trpl_is_releasing_on_amazon_without_customer/e1bwffl/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/8u0ggw/trpl_is_releas...
- steveklabnik 8y agoYeah, I don't happen to know, as I'm not being paid for this book :) None of the other books I've worked on have been on Safari, or at least, if they are, I've never seen a breakdown of the (not large, mind you) payments that described that.
- clumsysmurf 8y agoThanks for not using Safari — I cannot afford it ;)
- cschmidt 8y agoI don't know how far in you are, but I would suggest reading TRPL first. I read the Programming Rust book first, but I found TRPL a much better introduction. I wish I had done them in the other order. Maybe read TRPL first, and then go back to PR.
- artificial 8y agoI completely agree and I did the same thing. I own dead tree variants of both and TRPL approach immensely helped grokking the language whereas the Programming Rust book feels more like a reference book for dives into concepts.
