Start building fast and robust applications with the power of Rust by your sideAbout This Book• Get started with the language to build scalable and high performance applications• This book will help C#/C++ developers gain better performance and memory management• Discover the power of Rust when developing concurrent applications for large and scalable softwareWho This Book Is ForThe book is for absolute beginners to Rust, who want to build high performance, concurrent applications for their projects. It is suitable for developers who have a basic knowledge of programming and developers who are using the C#/C++ language to write their applications. No knowledge of Rust is expected.What You Will Learn• Set up Rust for Windows, Linux, and OS X• Write effective code using Rust• Expand your Rust applications using libraries• Interface existing non-Rust libraries with your Rust applications• Use the standard library within your applications• Understand memory management within Rust and speed efficiency when passing variables• Create more complex data types• Study concurrency in Rust with multi-threaded applications and sync threading techniques to improve the performance of an application problemIn DetailRust is a highly concurrent and high performance language that focuses on safety and speed, memory management, and writing clean code. It also guarantees thread safety, and its aim is to improve the performance of existing applications. Its potential is shown by the fact that it has been backed by Mozilla to solve the critical problem of concurrency.Learning Rust will teach you to build concurrent, fast, and robust applications. From learning the basic syntax to writing complex functions, this book will is your one stop guide to get up to speed with the fundamentals of Rust programming. We will cover the essentials of the language, including variables, procedures, output, compiling, installing, and memory handling.You will learn how to write object-oriented code, work with generics, conduct pattern matching, and build macros. You will get to know how to communicate with users and other services, as well as getting to grips with generics, scoping, and more advanced conditions. You will also discover how to extend the compilation unit in Rust.By the end of this book, you will be able to create a complex application in Rust to move forward with.Style and approachThis comprehensive book will focus on the Rust syntax, functions, data types, and conducting pattern matching for programmers. It is divided into three parts and each part of the book has an objective to enable the readers to create their own applications at an appropriate level, ultimately towards creating complex applications.

Become proficient in designing, developing and deploying effective software systems using the advanced constructs of Rust

Key Features

Improve your productivity using the latest version of Rust and write simpler and easier codeUnderstand Rust’s immutability and ownership principle, expressive type system, safe concurrencyDeep dive into the new doamins of Rust like WebAssembly, Networking and Command line tools

Book Description

Rust is an empowering language that provides a rare combination of safety, speed, and zero-cost abstractions. Mastering Rust – Second Edition is filled with clear and simple explanations of the language features along with real-world examples, showing you how you can build robust, scalable, and reliable programs.

This second edition of the book improves upon the previous one and touches on all aspects that make Rust a great language. We have included the features from latest Rust 2018 edition such as the new module system, the smarter compiler, helpful error messages, and the stable procedural macros. You’ll learn how Rust can be used for systems programming, network programming, and even on the web. You’ll also learn techniques such as writing memory-safe code, building idiomatic Rust libraries, writing efficient asynchronous networking code, and advanced macros. The book contains a mix of theory and hands-on tasks so you acquire the skills as well as the knowledge, and it also provides exercises to hammer the concepts in.

After reading this book, you will be able to implement Rust for your enterprise projects, write better tests and documentation, design for performance, and write idiomatic Rust code.

What you will learn

Write generic and type-safe code by using Rust’s powerful type system How memory safety works without garbage collection Know the different strategies in error handling and when to use themLearn how to use concurrency primitives such as threads and channels Use advanced macros to reduce boilerplate code Create efficient web applications with the Actix-web frameworkUse Diesel for type-safe database interactions in your web application

Who this book is for

The book is aimed at beginner and intermediate programmers who already have familiarity with any imperative language and have only heard of Rust as a new language. If you are a developer who wants to write robust, efficient and maintainable software systems and want to become proficient with Rust, this book is for you. It starts by giving a whirlwind tour of the important concepts of Rust and covers advanced features of the language in subsequent chapters using code examples that readers will find useful to advance their knowledge.
