Learning Rust
So I am finally getting around to learning a new programming language. One could say that it is my first real programming language since the ones I know and use regularly are all dynamic (PHP, Python, Javascript).
I will use this as my primary starting resource .
This will be a long-running blog post with hopefully daily updates. My plan of attack to make sure this succeeds is to move a bit slower than what I am used to when learning new things. I tend to go all out and accomplish something in the span of a night and get extremely frustrated when I cannot do that. I tried that strategy to learn rust a few years ago, and it got me nowhere. So slow and steady we go.
The learning Journey
Day One
Got rust installed and vs code configured with some recommended extensions.
I got the Hello World program up and running.
I learned a little about Cargo and started the Guessing Game tutorial in the book.
I came up with the long-term goal of creating a music streaming service with it as my project. Something similar to PoolSuite FM . But everyone listens to the same song simultaneously because why not.
It's a bit late for me when I decided to start doing this, so going to call it a day.
