The Rust Programming Language Workbook - by Byron Mattingly (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

An essential companion to The Rust Programming Language, 2nd Edition, offering targeted exercises to enhance beginners' skills in reading and writing Rust code.

The Rust Programming Language Workbook provides short coding exercises inspired by the rustlings project and organized by topic. The workbook starts with concepts common to many programming languages today like variables, data types, and functions then moves on to important Rust concepts like move semantics, structs, and enums. Short introductions of the concepts are followed by exercises that are intentionally broken. Readers need to change the code or add code to fix each exercise. The workbook also provides hints and example solutions to help beginners get unstuck.
