Microsoft Rust Training
This is Microsoft's official Rust curriculum packaged as seven mdBooks that you can build and browse locally. It covers bridge paths from C/C++, C#/Java, and Python, plus deep dives on async, advanced patterns, type-level correctness, and engineering practices. Each book has 15-16 chapters with Mermaid diagrams and embedded Rust playgrounds. You clone the repo, run `cargo xtask build`, and get a full local documentation site. It's genuinely comprehensive, not a toy tutorial. The type-driven correctness book in particular gets into phantom types and capability tokens, which you don't see in most Rust learning materials. If you're ramping up a team or want structured reference material beyond the official book, this hits a sweet spot between breadth and depth.
