Rust reading list

My personal reading list for rust resources which I stumpled upon. While I'm listing the items primarily for myself, others might also be interested.

General

• The Rust Programming Language Book - Rust Documentation
  • Available as .epub here: https://killercup.github.io/trpl-ebook/
  • Definitive starting point when one wants to learn Rust.
• Elegant Library APIs in Rust (by Pascal Hertleif)
  • Contains best practices for library APIs, like naming conventions and non-obvious useful tricks.

Networking

• Zero-cost futures in Rust (by Aaron Turon)
• Tokyo documentation

Language features

• Impl trait tracking issue
• Rust patterns: Using traits for function overloading (by Jonathan Reem)

Strings

• String vs &str in Rust functions

Builder pattern

• Builder pattern derive crate
• The builder pattern (by Aaron Turon)

Videos

General

• The History of Rust (by Steve Klabnik)

RustConf 2016

• Opening Keynote (by Aaron Turon & Niko Matsakis)
• Integrating Some Rust in VLC Media Player (by Geoffroy Couprie)
• The r/playrust Classifier (by Suchin Gururangan and Colin O'Brien)
