I come from C. What got me started was the O'Reilly book, Programming Rust by Blandy & Orendorff. (It cultivates the your sense of snobbery too. Imagine code examples using lists of "murderous Renaissance artists".)
In fact, that was the book I started with once. I kept reading until page 76. The book isn't bad, but I think books are just not the best medium to learn new languages, at least for me.
