> Also, are there any plans to integrate tutorial-style guides similar to those from Rust for Rubyists into the Rust book?
I'd been waiting for beta to drop to do a re-organization of the TOC of the book. You can see it on nightly here: http://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/book/
I've carved out a whole section, "Effective Rust", specifically for this kind of thing. I'm looking for a better name than "Effective Rust", since that's a very common book title, though. Don't want to be too greedy with that namespace!
We do also have Rust by Example, but I admittedly don't give it as much love. Once the book is done...
Never new Rust by Example existed until today actually! You really should link to it somewhere more prominent. I'm fairly far along, but would have loved the example book had I know about it sooner.
It was originally a community project, but was then abandoned for a while, and then donated to Rust proper. As such, it's always been sort of secondary. I plan on linking it more prominently once I've actually gone through it and cleaned it up to my own personal standards, for now I just keep CI green. As such, the text has gotten out of sync with the code in a number of places, and I don't want to mislead anyone.
Fair enough: it's definitely not a good idea to promote something half baked.
It actually took me a while to find the link there just now. I don't think "External Documentation" really imparts the right meaning. Perhaps something like "Other Guides and Resources" would make more sense?
It is actually linked to from the front page of http://www.rust-lang.org/; it's the "more examples" link under the example. But I guess that's just far enough down to be easy to miss; it's just below the fold on my screen.
