I’ve been coding for years in a multitude of languages, but other than one c class I had in college I mostly learned through osmosis, or learned new things as they were needed.
So my knowledge is honestly all over the place and with a ton of gaps.
I’m trying to learn rust and starting going through The Rust Book and afterwards I plan on going on Rust by Example and trying to code my stuff as strictly following best practices as possible.
Is that a waste of time? I mean rawdogging it has been working for me for a decade now. Should I just yolo and write what I wanna write in Rust and learn as I go?
alright, I get the just buying a text book thing, but what about the official language documentation/reference on the language’s homepage?
That’s a great resource for when you know what you’re looking for, but I wouldn’t use it for learning new stuff. It’s like if you were trying to learn a language from a dictionary.
