Relearn Programming With The Rust Book: 1 - Getting Started

If you learned a higher, more abstracted language from the start, like Python or JavaScript, then there's a lot going under the hood that you may not be aware of. Knowing these underlying, fundamental concepts of programming will really help you fill the gaps that were created from your non-traditional background and self-taught journey.

Join me as we learn the Rust programming language by working through "The Rust Book" and all the wisdom found within it.

We'll also be working through the "rustling" challenges to make sure we are absorbing the material.

Video key points:

• Discuss Rust in comparison to other languages like C, JavaScript,and Python
• Discuss why big companies like Microsoft are adopting it
• Install the latest stable version of Rust using rustup
• Update to a newer Rust version
• Open locally installed documentation
• Write and run a “Hello, world!” program using rustc directly
• Create and run a new project using the conventions of Cargo
• Get the Rustlings Exercises repo downloaded and ready to go for the following weeks.
