Here’s a short intro to Rust web development for NodeJS developers.

> Rust is different. You can pick up Python or Ruby over the weekend, create a first CRUD application and be happy with the results.
> 
> With Rust… with Rust you will struggle to pass a String to a different method, change and return it. You then will order the Rust book, see its size, _sigh_ and get started.
> 
> After a few weeks of fighting through the book after work, you give up and wait until someone else creates an easy-to-follow tutorial.
> 
> Here is your “easy” tutorial

I found it while searching for information on deploying Rust web apps.

He also has a post about switching to Linux. 🙂

The post mentions two no starch books that look interesting:

- [Linux Programming Interface](https://nostarch.com/tlpi)
- [TCP/IP Guide](https://nostarch.com/tcpip.htm)
