Quick Rust: A Quick Guide for Everything Rust When You’re too Lazy to Relearn It

Hello there! Thanks for checking out my book.

I tend to be in the habit of documenting my learning process as I go; so when I started learning Rust, I obviously did that exact same thing; but to my surprise, I started enjoying Rust and its ecosystem so much that my “documenting” turned out to be a lot more detailed and polished than I anticipated. This book is the result of that.

Initially this book began as me taking .md notes on stuff I knew I’d be too lazy to relearn later. So, by definition, this book is for people who already know Rust and want to quickly revisit a topic they may have forgotten.

This isn’t meant to replace The Rust Programming Language book. It’s the book I wish I had after finishing it; a place to quickly refresh concepts without rereading entire chapters or digging through scattered documentation.

At some point, I found out about an amazing tool called mdBook which helps you create deployable online books from .md files and it seemed like the perfect way to turn my notes into something others could use.

Each chapter begins with the relevant computer science background before diving into how Rust implements those ideas.
