Rust Linz, June 2021 - Tim McNamara - How to learn Rust 

I am thinking about learning Rust and one thing that helps me is that i am not caring about job, it is all about the interest of learning and this is a very good feeling.

I find it great that people who don’t come from a computer science can learn and become so knowledgeable about programming. The rust community is so great and welcoming

I gave up on Rust two years ago... Too complicated for me. You gave me confidence to resume. Thank you.

Great talk. I'm starting to use Rust at work. I've been coding in Go for the last 5 years and although I love Go, I'm looking forward to learning Rust. I've gone through both the official book and the O'Reilly Programming in Rust. Now going through your book, Rust in Action. But what I feel has been missing on my journey has been what to focus on first. So this talk is great. One frustration I have with Rust is that a lot of examples out there use crates that have changed quite a bit and so the resources out there do sometimes show you what seems like outdated versions of crates.

I like this approach. I’ve always found it easier to start with what most people call advanced but I like to think of it as the bigger picture. By learning the “bigger picture” the simpler things just fall into place.

totally agree, start with structs,vecs,result,option and iteration. i would however definitely include slices, if not covered alongside iteration.

21:35 For the borrow concept example: read only borrow = open book and as many people as there are can look and read read only ownership = give the book to one person, who can only read the book, but is not allowed to make notes read and write ownership = give the book to one person, who is allowed to read and make notes and changes as the person wishes

Super nice talk. Many years ago I was super excited about Rust. I got myself some books, watched a bunch of tutorials and I became relatively good at it. After that it died because I never worked with Rust and never did anything with it. I should definitely get back to it just for fun.

This was an awesome video, I am new to programming and chose to learn rust, even though there are many that said it is not a good idea as it is not beginner friendly. But I am going to keep at it, especially after hearing from Tim as well that it is possible. Gave me my confidence knowing I am going to make it if I keep at it.

4:45 the laughter was sincere, thanks for the video and advices

Right off the bat after Hello Linz intro struct is introduced and its implementation, lol. This is a fast ride lol. But great talk Tim thanks a bunch.

This is a wonderful talk. I really appreciate the mixture of tech and humanity. Kudos sir.

Quite useful talk .Please make the fonts bigger and a little bright theme or just plain white background.Mobile views are not clear not even in 1080p.Thanks again for the talk,will check the book.

Awesome talk Tim! Thanks a lot!

Timothy Samuel McNamara, a guy with a name resembling a drill sergeant rather than ordinary human being! Your book is not so bad, thanks for writing it.

This was such a useful talk, thank you!

Amazing talk. Thank you so much.

the part about confidence and stuff really helped... thx :)

This was such a good talk!! Thanks

Thanks for this.

Thanks ❤️

Good talk, thanks :)

Great lessons for the starters. An abc if Rust coding.🐯🙏🇵🇰

I have only one question: Why a crab?

you are awesome! thank you.

Great Talk! I am considering on buying your book "Rust in Action", would you say that your book can also help a beginner in Rust?

thanks :)

Thanks, this was a very helpful talk.
