Rust Tutorials

Below are few links that are the best places to get started with rust tutorials :

• https://github.com/nikomatsakis/rust-tutorializer/blob/master/md/index.md
• https://github.com/rust-community/rustbridge
• http://exercism.io/languages/rust
• https://github.com/ctjhoa/rust-learning#tutorials–workshop-materials
• https://cis198-2016s.github.io/schedule/

Installation notes :

• https://github.com/dvigneshwer/FoxIOT_meetup_materials/tree/master/Meetup_3/rust_intro
• For installing Rust you might consider using https://www.rustup.rs/. It’s slightly easier more user-friendly, and is what most experience Rust programmers use.

Ways of contributing to rust are :

• Test and learn rust, share your honest feedbacks in form of blogs etc. This will help the rust team to get developers feedback and get better insights.
• Create awesome cool documentations and code samples for people to use
• Create crates which can be really usefull developer communities as part of your projects etc
• if you know a great conference going near your region, go ahead and be an advocate of rust and brag about it.

Other Contributions

Wait now is the part where I am gonna mention about the ways people who are really want to do coding but still want to contribute to rust.

• Consider localization of rust docs so that developers from various regions can learn it, wanna get started with Tamil localization
• Help advocate rust-lang to awesome developers.
• Conduct great hackathons to create some really cool crate and publish at crate site .

What’s cooking in MozillaTN ?

Mozilla TN want’s their contributors to be part of this rust era and contribute constanly to rust language, PFB few ways to get involved,

• Being from an analytics background I am currently working on a deep learning crate, if that sounds interesting feel free to join the club. Follow this thread.
• If you have made some really cool documentation or code sample which the community can use please go ahead and populate them here

if you want to conduct an rust event and not sure how to get started tweet to me at @dvigneshwer we will plan something really cool for your local developers.
