Building Tomorrow's Systems Today the Rust Way
Key Features- Learn how to use Rust libraries effectively for various applications and projects.- Go from basics to advanced system-building skills for stronger and reliable outcomes.- Secure your Rust applications confidently with expert tips for enhanced protection.
Book DescriptionThis book is your guide to mastering Rust programming; equipping you with essential skills and insights for efficient system programming. It starts by introducing Rust's significance in the system programming domain and highlighting its advantages over traditional languages like C/C++. You'll then embark on a practical journey; setting up Rust on various platforms and configuring the development environment. From writing your first "Hello; World!" program to harness the power of Rust's package manager; Cargo; the book ensures a smooth initiation into the language.
Delving deeper; the book covers foundational concepts; including variables; data types; control flow; functions; closures; and crucial memory management aspects like ownership; borrowing; and lifetimes. Special attention is given to Rust's strict memory safety guarantees; guiding you in writing secure code with the assistance of the borrow checker.
The book extends its reach to Rust collections; error-handling techniques; and the complexities of concurrency management. From threads and synchronization primitives like Mutex and RwLock to asynchronous programming with async/await and the Tokio library; you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of Rust's capabilities. This book covers it all.
What you will learn- Learn how to set up the Rust environment effortlessly; ensuring a streamlined development process.- Explore advanced concepts in Rust; including traits; generics; and various collection types; expanding your programming expertise.- Master effective error-handling techniques; empowering you to create custom error types for enhanced code robustness.- Tackle the complexities of memory management; and smart pointers; and delve into the complexities of concurrency in Rust.- Gain hands-on experience by building command-line utilities; sharpening your practical skills in real-world scenarios.- Master the use of iterators and closures; ensuring code reliability through comprehensive unit testing practices.
Who is this book for?This book is tailored for aspiring programmers; software developers; system engineers; and computer scientists looking to dive into system programming with Rust. It caters to a broad spectrum of individuals and professionals interested in leveraging Rust's power to build robust and efficient applications. While no prior experience with Rust is necessary; a basic understanding of programming concepts and familiarity with at least one programming language would be beneficial.
