Anyone here have any tips on learning the Rust programming language. I found out about it yesterday and started learning bits and pieces about it, but I’m looking to accelerate my learning speed. Any tips and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
When it comes to learning programming, I’ve realized that spending a long time on programming language theory is one of the biggest wastes of time.
Don’t spend more than a day studying a programming language. Just spend about two hours on the basics that day, looking up the core syntax you need, and then immediately start a project. I’m saying this strongly: don’t spend more than two days studying a programming language.
This applies to Rust as well. Skim the basic syntax for roughly two hours, on the same day, and then jump straight into a small project.
When you run into problems while building something, look things up as needed and fix them as you go. In my experience, that has been the fastest way to improve.
To be honest, I still don’t really know how to apply memory techniques to learning programming languages.
I’m just a beginner who only recently started learning them myself.
So please just treat what I’ve written here as a few small tips based on what I’ve realized while studying programming, and use them as a reference.
