Welcome to an overview of the documentation provided by the Rust project.
All of these projects are managed by the Docs Team; there are other
unofficial documentation resources as well!
Many of these resources take the form of "books"; we collectively call these
"The Rust Bookshelf." Some are large, some are small.
# Learn Rust
If you'd like to learn Rust, this is the spot for you! All of these resources
assume that you have programmed before, but not in any specific language:
## The Rust Programming Language
Affectionately nicknamed "the book," [The Rust Programming
Language](book/index.html) will give you an overview of the language from
first principles. You'll build a few projects along the way, and by the end,
you'll have a solid grasp of the language.
## Rust By Example
If reading multiple hundreds of pages about a language isn't your style, then
[Rust By Example](rust-by-example/index.html) has you covered. While the book talks about code with
a lot of words, RBE shows off a bunch of code, and keeps the talking to a
minimum. It also includes exercises!
# Use Rust
Once you've gotten familiar with the language, these resources can help you
when you're actually using it day-to-day.
## The Standard Library
Rust's standard library has [extensive API documentation](std/index.html),
with explanations of how to use various things, as well as example code for
accomplishing various tasks.
<div>
<form action="std/index.html" method="get">
<input id="search-input" type="search" name="search"
placeholder="Search through the standard library"/>
<button id="search-but">Search</button>
</form>
</div>
## The Rustc Book
[The Rustc Book](rustc/index.html) describes the Rust compiler, `rustc`.
## The Cargo Book
[The Cargo Book](cargo/index.html) is a guide to Cargo, Rust's build tool and dependency manager.
## The Rustdoc Book
[The Rustdoc Book](rustdoc/index.html) describes our documentation tool, `rustdoc`.
## Extended Error Listing
Many of Rust's errors come with error codes, and you can request extended
diagnostics from the compiler on those errors. You can also [read them
here](error-index.html), if you prefer to read them that way.
# Master Rust
Once you're quite familiar with the language, you may find these advanced
resources useful.
## The Reference
[The Reference](reference/index.html) is not a formal spec, but is more detailed and
comprehensive than the book.
## The Rustonomicon
[The Rustonomicon](nomicon/index.html) is your guidebook to the dark arts of unsafe
Rust. It's also sometimes called "the 'nomicon."
## The Unstable Book
[The Unstable Book](unstable-book/index.html) has documentation for unstable features.
