RUST programming
RUST programming
One of my favorite Computer Science professors at CSULB, Dr.Schwartz, advised us:
"Always know the fundamentals, and a hot button."
So, I've focused on knowing three languages that, to me, embody his advice. C, C++, and Java (J2EE).
C is foundational, still used a lot. C++ for object-oriented programming, syntax similar to C. The "hot button" when I was in school for CompSci was Java.
I still consider myself competent in all three. However, there seems to be a "new" hot button emerging: RUST
So, I have started reading online material to learn RUST, at https://doc.rust-lang.org/book.
EDIT 2021-04-23
Finished reading the online RUST tutorial book. Now ready to install RUST and begin learning hands-on.
For Debian Stable, logged into a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+F3) for my home PC workstation. Installed the cargo package via the command:
sudo aptitude install cargo
Now will take a 2nd pass through the RUST online book, and do the examples "hands on." Once I have finished with that, figure I'll create a version of my timediff C++ program as a RUST progam, and if I think it's worthy of sharing, will likely post it to on my own website as source code.
