Learning Paths

Each person has a different background and different goals.
To accommodate this diversity, this section provides multiple learning paths for Pavex, each tailored to a specific audience.

I know some Rust, but I'm new to Pavex

If you're already familiar with Rust, you can start learning about Pavex right away: head over to our Quickstart tutorial to learn about the core concepts of the framework.

I'm new to Rust

If you're new to Rust, you should start by learning the language.

Books

The official Rust book is a great place to start: it'll teach you the basics of the language and the tooling.
You don't need to read it all at once: the first 11 chapters are enough to get you started. You can always come back to it later to learn more advanced topics on a need-to-know basis.

Exercises

If books aren't your thing (or if you want to augment the theory with some practice), you should check out the Rustlings project: it's a collection of small exercises to get the language going under your fingers. Each exercise is self-contained, can be completed in a few minutes and comes with tests to check your solution.
In a similar vein, you can also check out the Rust track on Exercism.

Once you feel comfortable enough with the language, you can start learning about Pavex: head over to the next section!
