Tour of Rust

Welcome to the source repo of Tour of Rust.

Goals

This project is meant to give an experienced programmer a swift introduction to Rust as an alternative to reading lengthy book style documentation.

  • Chapter 1 - The Basics
  • Chapter 2 - Basic Control Flow
  • Chapter 3 - Basic Data Structure Types
  • Chapter 4 - Generic Types
  • Chapter 5 - Ownership & Borrowing Data
  • Chapter 6 - Text
  • Chapter 7 - Object Oriented Programming
  • Chapter 8 - Smart Pointers
  • Chapter 9 - Project Organization and Structure

Content goals:

  • Chapter 1-4 should give you a strong taste of Rust's aesthetic
  • Chapter 1-6 should give a a person from C a good idea how their ideas translate
  • Chapter 1-8 should give a a person from C++ a good idea how their ideas translate
  • Chapter 9+ should talk about Rust specific concepts that doesn't fit well into the above

This project also aims to provide this book in as many languages as possible.

Contributors

Looking for translators!

If you would like to contribute translations in a language that doesn't exist yet. Feel free to make an issue and I will modify the generator for your language.

The only file you should modify in your pull request is: lessons.yaml

Adding new languages should be as simple as adding new properites per page under an appropriate language code object. Let's assume we're doing spanish and your language code is "es":

  • title - this would be your localized page's title
  • content_markdown - this would be your localized page's content as markdown using shodown markdown
  • code (optional) - this would be your localized page's code. This is the "embedded link" generated from https://play.rust-lang.org/ when you hit the "Share" button. Be sure your run the "rustfmt" tool! If you don't provide code, a page will fallback onto an english version of code (if it exists).
  - es:
      title: Capítulo 3 - Conclusión
      content_markdown: |
        ¡Rust tiene algunos increíbles ** punteros **!

        * A
        * `let`
        * C
      code: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&code=fn%20main()%20%7B%7D%0A

Lastly, there is a section for common words you should fill out your localized translations of for deeper experience of the site.
