Anyone has good learning resources about rust? I find it's a very interesting language but the document on its web site is so limited. Many topics are not covered or explained in vague terms. The new guide is a good starting point but still needs some improvement.
- shmerl 12y agoThis is WIP: http://doc.rust-lang.org/guide.html http://doc.rust-lang.org/guide.html
- steveklabnik 12y agoIts WIP status is 'basically done, just editing and having tons and tons and tons of people read it to catch small things' :)
- shmerl 12y agoThat's good!
- doe88 12y agoFor newcomers I think the documentation is quite good. But where I think there is currently a big problem it is for intermediate / advanced level documentations, it is very limited. Sometimes you'll read some code and say to yourself "I didn't know I could do that, cool". In order to grasp more knowledge you'll have to read RFC, commit logs, issues, and source codes, but because it certainly is not your main job it's really time consuming.
- steveklabnik 12y agoYup. I've been working from the bottom up, so I'd agree with your analysis wholeheartedly. As the rest of the Guides fill out, it'll get better.
- doe88 12y agoGreat! keep-up the good work, Rust is awesome.

- dengnan 12y agoExactly! I think there's lack of document which quickly goes through basics and spends more time on rust-specific features. (Or I'm too lazy to find them?) For developers programming for decades, we do not need to repeat too much about integers, characters, etc. I personally like to use slides to learn things. I'm not sure if this is typical, but slides are usually concise and easy to read.
- steveklabnik 12y agoThis kind of thing is coming. I wanted to let the Guide sit for a while before I got to it.
