Hey guys, completely new to rust been jumping around languages, copying from stack overflow, quick fixes for 8 years now.
I do not wanna get stuck in the tutorial loop hell so what would be a great place to practically start learning rust by building a few projects as I go.
I tried following a build a Blockchain tutorial as I am into Blockchain but was pretty outdated one so had compiling errors with type usages etc, although informative.
I am completely nil so can't actually compile errors that appear when writing the code cause it uses an old rust and substrate version and I am using latest rust.
What would one suggest is there a group session etc here.
Rust is pretty unusual, with a lot of concepts that probably are not found in other languages, so I don't think I'd recommend trying to jump straight into a project without understanding the fundamentals.
I've heard good things about Rustlings as a way to learn Rust concepts by completing small exercises:
Jumping straight into a full size project, I'd worry that you'd be constantly baffled by the language, unable to focus on creating features and solving problems, and frequently getting stuck trying to understand the meaning of exotic errors from the compiler.
How about actually leaning a programming language? Any programming language, never mind Rust in particular. Copying and pasting nonsense from the internet is no way to get a grip on fundamentals.
That is why I want RUST a typed language is far better than JS, TS or other scripting languages. I actually do know a bit about programming, vars, data types, oops concept of course. Rust is really great when it comes to the current category of software development languages.
