Description
Book SynopsisFor developers who've mastered the basics, this book is the next step on your way to professional-level programming in Rust. It covers everything you need to build and maintain larger code bases, write powerful and flexible applications and libraries, and confidently expand the scope and complexity of your projects. Author Jon Gjengset takes you deep into the Rust programming language, dissecting core topics like ownership, traits, concurrency, and unsafe code. You'll explore key concepts like type layout and trait coherence, delve into the inner workings of concurrent programming and asynchrony with async/await, and take a tour of the world of no_std programming. Gjengset also provides expert guidance on API design, testing strategies, and error handling, and will help develop your understanding of foreign function interfaces, object safety, procedural macros, and much more. You'll Learn: How to design reliable, idiomatic, and ergonomic Rust programs based on best principles; Effecti
Trade Review"You'll learn dozens—probably hundreds—of things about how to improve your Rust programming by reading this book."
—Tim McNamara, author of Rust in Action"One of Rust's weaknesses as a language is there's a lot of beginner content and a lot of advanced content, but any intermediate content is just nonexistent or requires quite the struggle to learn. Jon Gjengset has done a wonderful job of distilling those next steps into an easy to read book."
—Michael Gattozzi, Senior Software Engineer, Fastly"For a long time, people have asked me what they should read after The Rust Programming Language.
Rust for Rustaceans is that book. This book will teach you how to effectively *use* Rust, after you've understood the core syntax and semantics of the language itself. Rust has a rich number of tools for you to choose from, and
Rust for Rustaceans will show them all off, and teach you how to properly take advantage of all the richness Rust has to offer."
—Steve Klabnik, co-author of The Rust Programming Language
