I’ve written a book “Rust From the Ground Up” which teaches you to write a real Rust program from scratch in each chapter. I used the BSD sources to rewrite classic Unix utilities (head, wc, cat, etc) from C into idiomatic Rust. Rust has an incredibly steep learning curve and I make it easier by avoiding more advanced topics like lifetimes. I’ve published the first 3 chapters with the fourth coming in January.
