I have no experience in rust, so this is a fairly large hill, and potentially an even bigger boulder. I also have little to no experience in low level programming, save the sprinkle of C++ that I've picked up. However, I did really enjoy the small amount that I've done so I'm excited to see where this takes me. I recently read a book about super learning and that might be the culprit for my current optimism. </p> <p>I'm going to post on here weekly with a progress report sort of thing which will outline progress (if any) that I make over the 7 days, as well as other bits such as challenges faced or questions I may have. I will be delighted if one singular person gives feedback at any point during the process, even if it's just to tell me how badly I'm doing :) </p> <h2> Why </h2> <p>Why am I doing this to myself? It's a mix of 2 things. Firstly, I would one day like to be a semi-competent software developer and this is an area that interests me. I find that writing something down helps me understand it better, as I need to describe it succinctly, and in such a way that someone who cannot read my thoughts can understand it. Secondly, I want to use this as an outlet to improve my writing and hopefully as a byproduct of that, my own thinking. I believe that developing clear and concise writing will lead to a similar style of thinking, something which I would like to wield. </p> <p>If you made it this far, thank you, and if this has (for some reason) intrigued you, check back here every Friday at 12:00 GMT. This is the deadline I've set for myself every week or else I wont do it :)</p> <p>Beir Bua</p> rust learning beginners
