Another learning resource

Frequently see people asking where to start with Rust, or looking for ideas for a simple but interesting project.

I'm going through the link below myself, and it might be a good place to start, if you already know programming:

Mind the info below:

Prerequisites: This tutorial does not replace a general introduction to programming, and expects you to be familiar with a few common concepts. You should be comfortable with using a command line/terminal. If you already know a few other languages, this can be a good first contact with Rust.

Idea for a custom project

An idea for a project is a CLI tool that runs as an mdbook plugin (pre or post processor).

• It would be named mdbook-mything,
• Users need to add in the book.toml file.

When creating a book, the mdbook binary executes our binary as mdbook-mything ... which can modify the content of the book (process it.)

3rd party apps as the one you could make are found here, sadly many are AI slop --only enhanced by humans finding bugs-- but some are useful.
