    I was hoping that this was a book that I could recommend to others who wants to learn Rust.

    Sadly, seeing that even the description was written by a LLM is enough to tell me that the entire book has probably been generated as well.

    Can you offer this in a more traditional Amazon or Apple ebook store?

      Sorry not currently, Gumroad only for now. Amazon KDP is on the list but not set up yet. If you want to be notified when it is available there, follow me on Medium and I will announce it when it is ready.

    How would it help compared to the standard Rust book

      The official Rust book covers everything but is written as a comprehensive reference and is really a good source for understanding. This one is built around getting productive quickly by connecting Rust concepts to what you likely already know from other languages. Every concept is explained through comparison and contrast rather than in isolation. It ends with a working Redis clone rather than isolated exercises. If that sounds like what you need, the free sample is here: https://shankhan3.gumroad.com/l/kkqric
