Howdy! I already have some programming experience - i have taken 2 undergraduate-level courses in C - namely Computer Architecture an Operating Systems. My main interest in wanting to learn is that Rust seems to offer huge security benefits as compared to C.

Also if anyone knows a great beginner reference book please lmk! Peace out!

I read the Google book a while back and it seemed decent: https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/

I didn't like "The Rust Book" because it seemed too slow and patronizing, but that's probably just me.

You might also be interested in Ada or Haskell as a way to widen your perspective from C.
