The author has been a C++ programmer for quite some time and has tried to give Rust a chance many times over the years with not much success. But this has changed. In this talk we will: - Go over the basics of Rust (enough for the talk to make sense). - Talk about different learning strategies and the strengths and flaws they have. - How the wrong way to learn for one person can be perfect for another. - How being a C++ programmer can both help and hinder you. - Cover common mistakes of new programmers. - And hopefully inspire you to learn in different and "wrong" ways.
