I recently took CS50's Introduction to Cybersecurity, an online course from Harvard University on edx.org. It's taught by David J. Malan, who never fails to deliver an energetic and engaging lecture. Over five weeks he covers some of the most important threats in the online world and explains what can be done to mitigate them. The main topics are:

• How to secure our accounts
• How to secure data
• How to secure systems
• How to secure software
• How to preserve privacy

I can really recommend this course to anyone even remotely interested in the subject. Bear in mind, it's an introduction to cybersecurity, so don't expect too much. But these lectures touch on a lot of topics that are good to know in this day and age.

I believe one of the best ways to learn a language is to use it every day. However, it can be hard to incorporate a new language into your life at the beginning. You simply don't know it well enough to chat online and read news. This leaves you with rather boring learning materials. I've tried to solve this problem with LLM chatbots, and so far, the results are rather encouraging!

I want to recommend a couple of courses on Udemy that I took over the last couple of months. Both helped me gain confidence and knowledge in tools that I use every day: Git and Docker.

While learning a new programming language, it can be easy to miss a little detail you'd never overlook in a familiar environment. The Rust's compiler is rather good at telling the user what they're doing wrong, but for a beginner it can be difficult to understand more advanced errors. I got one while going through the Diesel ORM Getting Started guide. Let's explore it!
