Programming is like solving math, I think?
If I were you, I'd learn C instead. Rust is not used (much) on low level development. Currently C is not replaceable.
I've heard the authors of C said: "C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book". But it is so powerful, simple, and fast.
You already have a course on Rust, for "basic programming", so keep going on the course for a while. Learning any programming language can make your mind. And it is a course, so I'd expect the authors of the course to familiarize you with definitions.
Yeah, its been pretty basic the first week. Lots of definitions like "object oriented", "compiling" and such. I never thought of C. I was going to jump on Java first, but Rust has a very good rap as far as I've seen along devs, which is why I went with that instead. Goes to show how ignorant I am on the subject. Thanks a lot, really.
