Hi everyone!
I started learning Rust a couple days ago and I’m having fun with it. I’m trying to learn both for fun but also I plan on going back to Uni at the end of this year after roughly 5 years out of education.
I’m trying to think of projects I can do down the line to practice and for fun. Something I really want to build is a full stack web app (I have some basic knowledge of front end.)
Since I’m trying to learn rust, I was thinking of using something like Actix to build the server.
As for database stuff, I was thinking of postgres since that seems very in demand rn!
As for front end, I’m torn between using something like React which I’m somewhat familiar with or trying something like Yew to write it all in Rust!
I mostly would like some feedback on my plan (I understand there aren’t many details given, this is mostly an idea a couple months down the line), if i need to change my scope, if theres anything I should change, any resources that might be helpful, or really any advice!
My go-to recommendation for a learner project is always dir.exe. It’s simple, small enough to be completable in a couple weeks, at most, and, most importantly, it provides very specific goals to be reached, I.E. there’s a manual (and an existing program you can run) that tells you exactly how the program should behave.
Not the most flashy project, but for the sake of a learner project, I think making somethingnto completion is far more important than how usable or practical or flashy it is.
I guess my more general recommendation is “make something that already exists, in order to have clear, achievable goals.”
Thanks for your reply :> after some of the advice given, Im thinking of doing something along the lines of a tldr cli app to begin with since thats something i use quite frequently
