Welcome to the Rust documentation! You can use the section headings above
to jump to any particular section.
# Getting Started
If you haven't seen Rust at all yet, the first thing you should read is the [30
minute intro](intro.html). It will give you an overview of the basic ideas of Rust
at a high level.
Once you know you really want to learn Rust, the next step is reading [the
guide](guide.html). It is a lengthy explanation of Rust, its syntax, and its
concepts. Upon completing the guide, you'll be an intermediate Rust developer,
and will have a good grasp of the fundamental ideas behind Rust.
# Community & Getting Help
If you need help with something, or just want to talk about Rust with others,
there's a few places you can do that:
The Rust IRC channels on [irc.mozilla.org](http://irc.mozilla.org/) are the
fastest way to get help.
[`#rust`](http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23rust) is
the general discussion channel, and you'll find people willing to help you with
any questions you may have.
There are also three specialty channels:
[`#rust-gamedev`](http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23rust-gamedev)
and
[`#rust-osdev`](http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23rust-osdev)
are for game development and operating system development, respectively.
There's also
[`#rust-internals`](http://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23rust-internals), which is for discussion of the development of Rust itself.
You can also get help on [Stack
Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/rust). Searching for your
problem might reveal someone who has asked it before!
There is an active [subreddit](http://reddit.com/r/rust) with lots of
discussion about Rust.
There is also a [developer forum](http://discuss.rust-lang.org/), where the
development of Rust itself is discussed.

# Guides
Rust Guides are in-depth looks at a particular topic that's relevant to Rust
development. If you're trying to figure out how to do something, there may be
a guide that can help you out:
* [Strings](guide-strings.html)
* [Pointers](guide-pointers.html)
* [References and Lifetimes](guide-lifetimes.html)

# Tools
Rust's still a young language, so there isn't a ton of tooling yet, but the
tools we have are really nice.
[Cargo](http://crates.io) is Rust's package manager, and its website contains
lots of good documentation.
[The `rustdoc` manual](rustdoc.html) contains information about Rust's
documentation tool.
# FAQs
There are questions that are asked quite often, and so we've made FAQs for them:
* [Language Design FAQ](complement-design-faq.html)
* [Language FAQ](complement-lang-faq.html)
* [Project FAQ](complement-project-faq.html)

You can find function-level documentation for the entire standard library
[here](std/index.html). 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.
