Synopsis

Key FeaturesLearn how concurrency works in Rust and why it is safeGet to know the different philosophies of error handling and how to use them wiselyAfter reading this book, you will be able to migrate your legacy C or C++ application to a Rust environmentBook DescriptionIf concurrent programs are giving you sleepless nights, Rust is your go-to language. Being one of the first ever comprehensive books on Rust, it is filled with real-world examples and explanations, showing you how you can build scalable and reliable programs for your organization.Well teach you intermediate to advanced level concepts that make Rust a great language.

The book contains a mix of theory interspersed with hands-on tasks, so you acquire the skills as well as the knowledge. Since programming cannot be learned by just reading, we provide exercises (and solutions) to hammer the concepts in.After reading this book, you will be able to implement Rust for your enterprise project, deploy the software, and will know the best practices of coding in Rust.What you will learnImplement unit testing patterns with the standard Rust toolsGet to know the different philosophies of error handling and how to use them wiselyAppreciate Rusts ability to solve memory allocation problems safely without garbage collectionGet to know how concurrency works in Rust and use concurrency primitives such as threads and message passingUse syntax extensions and write your ownCreate a Web application with RocketUse Diesel to build safe database abstractionsAbout the AuthorVesa Kaihlavirta has been programming since he was five, beginning with C64 Basic.
