Programming Rust has 21 chapters and is 583 pages long. I’ve read it, and I’ve also read the online Rust Book (both several times). Most chapters are in the order of 20 to 30 pages long. Programming Rust is one of the best programming books I’ve ever read, and I’ve been coding professionally since 1997. If you want to get an A+ in Rust read Programming Rust a few times. You can see the entire Contents section of the book on Amazon. Below is a list of chapter titles from Programming Rust that get little to zero coverage in this Learning Rust website.

Ownership. References. Expressions. Error Handling. Enums & Patterns. Operator Overloading. Closures. Iterators. Collections. Strings & Text. Input & Output. Concurrency. Macros. Unsafe Code/FFI - the coolest part, they show you how to create a safe wrapper around libgit2.

There are two books with similar titles and I'm under the impression that you don't talk about the one the OP had in mind:

https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Programming-Language-Steve-Klabn...

https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Rust-Fast-Systems-Develop...

I think both are good books, I already have the second one and preordered the first.

I assumed he’d misnamed the book, switched the words around, as your first link points out (“The Rust Programming Language”), there isn’t actually a book called “Rust Programming”, and “Programming Rust” seemed like the closest approximation.
