Ask HN: How to learn Rust without learning to program?

from the ask-hn dept.

Ok, so...

Almost all the books written with the intention to teach you some X programming language, actually do the same journey over and over. What variables are, if-else, classes, etc.

I wan to learn Rust, but without reading all the same material. I mean, I already know what an if construct does, etc. I'm not saying I'm expert programmer, but a lazy person. Lol

What would be your advice for me?

Thank you.

Wow, this community is fast. Thank you for your responses and those valuable resources. Having that Rust summaries and cheat-sheets. How can I learn about the way of putting an entire application together, the rustacean way? That is not too large to digest, like Servo. Thank you again

"The Rust Programming Language" [1] seems to be written for somebody who already knows programming concepts.

I'm confused--are you just looking for a summary of syntax similar to this?[1]

So a syntax cheat sheet? Like this [0] but for Rust?

Usually for most languages there are more advanced texts that skip the basics. I know I've seen them, though I don't have concrete examples at the moment.
