Agree that "Programming Rust" is a good book. It is thorough and provides good explanation about many trickier aspects of the language. However my biggest peeve about the book is lack of good complete working examples and exercises. I worked through the book and learnt much about Rust, but midway into the book I wasn't sure how good I am in writing code in Rust to solve a programming problem. IMO a side project, or some rust exercises that cover the topic one is reading in the book is a good way to work through this book.
- Xophmeister 4y agoI agree; I like the book, but the lack of exercises is a bit of a missed opportunity, I think. At times, it just feels like you’re reading a reference manual.
- cauthon 4y ago> it just feels like you’re reading a reference manual. From other threads here and on r/rust, this seems to be a common opinion. I've seen multiple recommendations to pair it with another, more exercise- or project-oriented book.
