The author, Jon Gjengset, has a channel which was a critical resource for me to learn Rust.<p><a href="https://youtube.com/@jonhoo" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/@jonhoo</a><p>He also contributed to MIT's Missing Semester, which is a fantastic idea about providing context that's missing from CS courses (like how to use git or a debugger).<p><a href="https://youtube.com/@missingsemester" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/@missingsemester</a><p>As a final bit of trivia, I believe his thesis advisor was Robert T. Morris, the co-founder of YC. I believe he was also an early contributor to the Arc and HN codebases.
This book is good but I think it’s too hard for beginners. I would recommend to read ‘zero to production in Rust’ by Luca Palmieri first especially if you like more learning by doing approach
