I’m an experience software engineer, but I have a had a hard time just “jumping into Rust”. I really want to know the language, but I’ve struggled to build something in it.
However, I watch YouTube videos while I run on the treadmill at the gym. I’ve tried to find a series that explains the Rust borrower and some of the concepts surrounding that, but I’ve been unable to find a good one. I’ve watched ~15 videos on Rust, but a lot of them just stop after the basics. They are supposedly “series,” but once they hit the borrower, they stop the series prematurely. I’m not sure why.
But if anyone knows of a good YouTube channel that sort of does a “Rust language overview”, which does a reasonable job of covering Rust’s flavor of references, structs, generics, Box<es>, borrowing, and some of the advanced features, I’d appreciate a link. I’ll be going on a 3-4 mile run tonight and I’d love something to occupy my brain so I don’t suffer so much.
Fasterthanlime has some good rust stuff but I don’t think it’s good for listening to while running. There’s too much going on on the screen. Definitely check out his channel, though. He has some nice articles on his website too, which are like his videos but go more in depth.
