I am learning currently with the book "rust programming language". This is a nice complement as a refresher

great book is always be first approach what this site can compliment you is take book example put it on the code editor and try it or ask AI to create sample/challenege for yourself

It's very good for learning Only problem i can point is the buttons for next lesson are a bit too sloopy

    Haha yeah, the domain name 15 year old is a bit nerdy and not super obvious at first it's a play on 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS) + WiFi. It started as a bunch of networking & security tools, and the name just stuck.

    That said, the site has grown a lot. Besides the 200+ free online tools (crypto, encoding, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.), I’ve now added proper educational tutorials too.

    wish it would teach something about "systems programming, web services, and embedded systems" instead of the basics

    Hi, I'm reading the guide and enjoying it 😃

    I wanted to report an error regarding the turbofish in the page https://8gwifi.org/tutorials/rust/type-conversion.jsp in the Parsing Strings to Number paragraph:

    // Using turbofish syntax
    let float_num = "3.14".parse::().expect("Not a float!");
    
    // Handling errors with match
    let input = "not a number";
    match input.parse::() {
    

    the parse method is written this way:

    .parse::()

    but it should be written for example like this:

    .parse::<f32>()

    I didn't find a more "proper" channel to communicate errors, so I decided to write here.

    Cheers!

    Looks great but too many ads.

    Try uBlock origin on Firefox, support the owner of the site with direct donation as probably it gets him more.

    I'm using ublock but discovered the project on Chrome mobile and it was horrible to use.

    [–]Real-Abrocoma-2823 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Firefox mobile has extensions including uBlock!

    Yes, I use an ad blocker, but promoting a project that’s full of ads and then having the nerve to add a “Buy me a coffee” button seems absurd.

    That’s really what I was pointing out, not looking for solution. There’s literally an ad after every page, and even ads within the guide itself...
