Rust 1.6
Welcome to the Rust documentation! You can use the section headings above to jump to any particular section.
If you haven't seen Rust at all yet, the first thing you should read is the introduction to The Rust Programming Language. It'll give you a good idea of what Rust is like.
The book provides a lengthy explanation of Rust, its syntax, and its concepts. Upon completing the book, you'll be an intermediate Rust developer, and will have a good grasp of the fundamental ideas behind Rust.
Rust By Example teaches you Rust through a series of small examples.
Rust does not have an exact specification yet, but an effort to describe as much of the language in as much detail as possible is in the reference.
We have API documentation for the entire standard library. There's a list of crates on the left with more specific sections, or you can use the search bar at the top to search for something if you know its name.
The Rustonomicon is an entire book dedicated to explaining
how to write unsafe Rust code. It is for advanced Rust programmers.
Cargo is the Rust package manager providing access to libraries beyond the standard one, and its website contains lots of good documentation.
rustdoc is the Rust's documentation generator, a tool converting

If you encounter an error while compiling your code you may be able to look it up in the Rust Compiler Error Index.
Several projects have been started to translate the documentation into other languages:
