Make sure to read the books and maybe consider buying "Programming Rust" by Blandy & Orendorff which is easily one of the best language books I ever read, especially when combined with the free books available online. I used this book in a Rust course and I can also recommend it. What is particularly nice about this book is that in the chapters about ownership, moves, and references (which is what most learners find the most difficult) it uses neat graphs to visualize memory layout. It also places Rust memory management a bit into context by comparing Rust's memory management to other languages that the reader might know. The largest shortcoming of the book is the lack of exercises. That said, I don't think any of the books is as good as K&R or The Go Programming Language yet. The Kernighan books are lucid and contain a lot of small, but useful, exercises/practical examples. This gives a stronger sense of accomplishment while working through the book.
