I like "the book", but I felt more prepared for the real world after reading the O'reilly book, 2nd edition. That was sufficient for me to write any code I needed. If you want a deeper understanding, "Rust for Rustaceans" is a great book (disclaimer: I only read about half of it - too busy coding :-)

Ditto - I have both sitting beside me as I learn Rust and they are excellant. Short review of the former:

Its a very comprehensive book but takes some dedicated effort to get through. It goes through most (all?) important concepts from barrowing to iterator traits to some async. Give yourself a fair amount of time to read this and find small projects to do along the way to reinforce your knowledge.
