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?

    I’ve read the full C++ programming book by Bjarne Stroustrup before. It’s good because you get the insight of the author about the language, but I don’t think it’s the best way to learn the language. I think it’s good if you want to learn what is at the root of the programming language.
