What is it?

Rust By Practice is an mdBook-based learning resource that teaches Rust through hands-on exercises rather than prose alone. Each chapter is split into examples, exercises, and practice problems, and the goal is to make each exercise compile without errors or panics.

The content covers a wide range of Rust topics, including async/await, threads, synchronization primitives, optimization, the standard library, the toolchain, and data structures and algorithms. Exercises are graded from easy to super hard, and every exercise comes with its own solution. Part of the material is adapted from Rust By Example.

The book is available in English and Simplified Chinese, and can be read online or built locally with mdBook.
