Table of Contents
Introduction
💻 HACKER Here we are going to take a quick but valuable detour on our journey for the big button project. Don’t worry we will be back on our path in the next post.
Our aim here is to give you a wide range of information about Rust resources that may be relevant to our project. This will be a firehose of information, but don’t worry, most is given for awareness and reference.
It is no secret that lots of the ideas, methods, and materials in the following resources were used for this project, hence be at least familiar with what they are.
How to Use This Information
It’s not expected that you to read all of these or go over each tutorial, however do the following.
- Be aware of the contents of these resources. Click on each link, get the general gist, think about how it applies to something practical.
- Digest the material that you think relates to our project or fills in missing knowledge in Rust programming.
- Add these resources to your bookmarks, or come back to this post for later reference.
TIP
Don’t get sucked into the Rust information black hole or tutorial hell. Keep moving and apply!
