Evan Williams – författare

This book is quite possibly the most comprehensive book on Australian politics ever written. That's right, it covers BOTH houses of parliament.We'll take you inside the halls of power. And if we can't actually get inside because of security, we'll do some very fun speculating on what might be in there.One thing we know for sure is that this book is unputdownable. Something went wrong with the printing and it's all sticky.

Write safer, more maintainable Rust code by identifying anti-patterns, applying idiomatic design patterns tailored to ownership, borrowing, and the type system, and learning when to adapt or avoid traditional solutions.Free with your book: DRM-free PDF version + access to Packt's next-gen Reader*Key FeaturesLeverage traits, ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes to structure expressive, modular Rust codeAvoid common Rust anti-patterns and design pitfalls with clear, Rust-specific guidanceDesign practical Rust applications using Rust-native and adapted design patternsBook DescriptionMany Rust developers run into problems when they try to apply familiar object-oriented or cross-language patterns to Rust projects. These mismatches often lead to confusing compiler errors, awkward workarounds, or brittle code. This book helps you avoid those traps by thinking in Rust and applying idiomatic design patterns that embrace ownership, borrowing, and type safety.The book begins with anti-patterns and common mistakes Rust developers often encounter, including misusing object-oriented thinking, over-relying on Clone, or treating the borrow checker as an obstacle. From there, you’ll explore how to rethink traditional design solutions for Rust, including creational, structural, and behavioral design patterns. You’ll also dive into architectural strategies, type-driven design, and Rust-specific techniques such as TypeState. The final chapter brings these ideas together into a design mindset rooted in idiomatic Rust.By the end of this book, you’ll know how to avoid costly mistakes, apply effective patterns confidently, and design Rust applications that are clean, scalable, and reliable.*Email sign-up and proof of purchase requiredWhat you will learnDesign maintainable applications using idiomatic Rust patternsRecognize Rust anti-patterns that lead to messy or inefficient codeAdapt creational, structural, and behavioral design patterns to RustLeverage the type system to catch logic errors at compile timeStructure code effectively with modules, traits, and clear interfacesWork with ownership, borrowing, and the type system to simplify data handlingImplement functional techniques for clearer, expressive Rust codeWho this book is forRust developers ready to move beyond the basics and improve how they design and structure code will benefit from this book. If you're comfortable building simple applications and using tools like Cargo, this book will help you write cleaner, more idiomatic, and reliable software.It’s ideal for those looking to understand which patterns work in Rust, how to avoid common traps, and how to tackle more complex, real-world projects with confidence.

From the repurposed rubble of salvagepunk to undead hordes banging on shopping mall doors, from empty waste zones to teeming plagued cities, Combined and Uneven Apocalypse grapples with the apocalyptic fantasies of our collapsing era. Moving through the films, political tendencies, and recurrent crises of late capitalism, Evan Calder Williams paints a black toned portrait of the dream and nightmare images of a global order gone very, very wrong. Situating itself in the defaulting financial markets of the present, Combined and Uneven Apocalypse glances back toward a messy history of zombies, car wrecks, tidal waves, extinction, trash heaps, labour, pandemics, wolves, cannibalism, and general nastiness that populate the underside of our cultural imagination. Every age may dream the end of the world to follow, but these scattered nightmare figures are a skewed refraction of the normal hell of capitalism. The apocalypse isn't something that will happen one day: it's just the slow unveiling of the catastrophe we've been living through for centuries.Against any fantasies of progress, return, or reconciliation, Williams launches a loathing critique of the bleak present and offers a graveside smile for our necessary battles to come.
