Rust Programming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781685542351)

Key Features: For application-level programming, modern programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, and Java are becoming more popular, but for systems programming, Rust promises the best of both worlds: Java's type safety and C++'s speed and expressiveness, as well as memory safety without the use of a garbage collector. If you're new to Rust and systems programming and want to construct dependable and efficient systems software without using C or C++, this book is a great place to start. The book offers a novel approach by beginning each chapter with key functions. You'll move on to more advanced topics as you improve. Before learning how to utilize and build Rust with Web Assembly, you'll explore network programming, focusing on features such as working with low-level network primitives and protocols in Rust. You will have the practical skills to create systems software tools, libraries, and utilities in Rust by the end of this Rust programming book.
