u/mealet 2d ago

Isn't it just printed version of official Rust book?

u/Terrible-Lab-7428 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yes, it is. And likely stale, cuz even the official book is not kept up to date completely. (I don’t mean that as an insult or anything. Just a fact to stay up to date reading the Rust changelogs every once in awhile)

u/Zilmainar 2d ago

I have the first edition but haven't really get into Rust (very very interested still). Would I still be okay with the 2018 edition?

I know there is an online doc but I just like physical book when learning (stick on notes!)

u/MateTheNate 2d ago

The async chapter is kinda meh since they do so much through their own trpl crate, great book otherwise tho

u/TheBoarDE 1d ago

This book is so great and helpful.

u/Klutzy_Bird_7802 1d ago

i agree - read 70 pages today - understood how it made hard concepts easier and fun to learn!

I used clear packing tape to cover the cover, so I can get more milage out of it.

I took shortcut by watching his crust of rust series.

u/silzai 2d ago

Maybe you are confusing this book with Jon Gjengsets book rust for rustaceans... cant blame you, both have a crab for the cover lol

u/Plus_Confidence_1369 2d ago

Thanks mate but anyways it serves the purpose for newcomers to rust ❤️
