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!

@anything_but_windows I usually like to mix my learning experience with an interesting toy project (https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x) along with the material suggested here
