I've got some C and C++ behind me, but it's been a few years since I've used it. I can remember reading a 1000 page book on C++ (C++ for Dummies) and then asking for help, only to have members say that the book I read was not a good one. I'd rather not make that mistake again.

I'm reading this online book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/title-page.html

The other book I'm reading is a fork of the above book and is said to offer some helpful information and quizzes: https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu/title-page.html

Currently, I'm on chapter 4 (Understanding Ownership), and so far I'm understanding everything just fine. I've decided to read one chapter of the main rust book and then read the forked book chapter to really pound it in. Then I might watch a few videos on YouTube to see if I can follow along.

I'm not trying to make any programs with it right now. I'm just reading and copying/pasting into Visual Studio Code to try it out and play around just a little to experiment.

Does this seem like a decent way to learn rust? I really don't want to waste my time if there's a better way. So far this seems to be working.
