Hello Rustaceans!, I decided to learn Rust because I want to:

  • Understand how systems work at a lower level
  • Learn backend web development
  • Use a compiled language
  • Be able to contribute to projects written in Rust and participate in the community

Background:

I have 10 months of hobby programming experience making static sites with TypeScript and no knowldedge of systems programming

I tried out creating a backend in NextJS (js framework) and I wasn’t a fan of how abstracted everything is. I really want to understand how things actually works.


This is my current plan:

  • Read The Official Rust Book (currently on chapter 17)
  • Complete all the Rustlings exercises
  • Read Zero to Production in Rust book, which is specifically about backend web development

Is this generally a good structure? Any other books that you can recommend me I should read?
