Rust Documentation

If you haven’t seen Rust at all yet, the first thing you should read is the introduction to the book, The Rust Programming Language. It will give you a good idea of what Rust is like, show you how to install it, and explain its syntax and concepts. Upon completing the book, you’ll be an intermediate Rust developer, and will have a good grasp of the fundamental ideas behind Rust.
