How to learn Rust

Firstly, before we get into the topic, don’t search “rust youtubers” on YouTube you will just get videos of a bunch of YouTubers playing the game Rust:

Why do I want to learn Rust?

• I miss the joy of learning. Studying Computer Science was amazing because I got to learn so many cool things all the time.
• I need a new tool. I feel I haven’t added anything significant to my Dev arsenal since working on RINAIBRA.
• I want to challenge myself. I hear Rust has a steep learning curve so I feel this is the right challenge to take on this year.
• Follow a trend. I want to explore a trending technology for once. I feel a lot of the technologies I mess around with are old. Rust just looks clean and feels modern in it’s approach to things.

Resources I will be using

• The Book. The Rust Programming Language by Steve Klabnik and Carol Nichols
• Practical
  • Rust by Example
  • rustlings
  • Rust by Practice
• For projects:
  • Command line apps in Rust

Gaps to fill

• CS50x 2023 - Lecture 0 - Scratch for some core CS concepts.
• Stack, Heap, and Static Memory
• The Cherno
  • For C++ fundamentals like: RAII pattern and references.
• Functional programming
  • Learn you a Haskell for Great Good by Miran Lipovaca
