Learning Rust

The following is a list of resources for learning Rust as well as tips and tricks for learning the language faster.

Warning

Rust is not C or C++ so the way your accustomed to do things in those languages might not work in Rust. The best way to learn Rust is to embrace its best practices and see where that takes you.

The generally recommended path is to start by reading the books, and doing small coding exercises until the rules around borrow checking become intuitive. Once this happens, then you can expand to more real world projects. If you find yourself struggling hard with the borrow checker, seek help. It very well could be that you're trying to solve your problem in a way that goes against how Rust wants you to work.

UniFi AP Buyers Guide

(updated June 2024)

The APs in this list are ordered from highest to lowest performance. However, unless you have an insane amount of devices you likely do NOT need to buy the most expensive, highest performance AP. You can also check Ebay for deals, especially on older equipment. In terms of best price-to-performance, the U6 Pro/Mesh/InWall series is the sweet spot in my opinion and is the best choice for most deployments.

All APs in this list support both wired backhaul and mesh modes. However, wired connections are strongly recommended for better performance and reliability.

Number of spatial streams are listed in order of 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz.

	ZigZag-Encoding
	---------------

	Maps negative values to positive values while going back and
	forth (0 = 0, -1 = 1, 1 = 2, -2 = 3, 2 = 4, -3 = 5, 3 = 6 ...)

	(i >> bitlength-1) ^ (i << 1)

	with "i" being the number to be encoded, "^" being
	XOR-operation and ">>" would be arithemtic shifting-operation
