I skimmed through a few sections in which my rust knowledge is basic at best (threads). Really enjoy the no-nonsense, not-a-word-wasted style.
My first thought after spending 30 minutes with this that it could easily become my new no. 1 recommendation for rust onboarding, toppling the zero2prod book.
Then I figured out why this felt familiar, it's from the same author :D
Will definitely dive into it this weekend.
- sk11001 2y agoZero2prod doesn't really teach Rust, it's more about setting up an API for people who already know Rust.
- ramon156 2y agoAnd it also isn't 100% best-practise, more like all-practise. It tries to show any and every way you could approach a problem while somehow keeping it minimal. Really like it but if you follow the tutorial 1:1 you'll most likely get frustrated
- sk11001 2y ago> Really like it but if you follow the tutorial 1:1 you'll most likely get frustrated I went through it and hated it. It's very tedious and I felt like I learned nothing from following along.
- not_a_dane 2y agowell, you don't need to know Rust to complete Zero2prod but you need to have a backend background for sure.
- sformisano 2y agoI read the book while knowing almost nothing about the language, but yes I did complement it with "the rust programming language" book at the same time. I still think zero2prod is extremely beginner friendly, you don't need to know rust well to follow it. You can just dive into rust concepts as you read it.
