Integrating Rust shows you how to create fast, secure software while keeping full control. This book helps you with the knowledge to seamlessly integrate Rust into your existing development workflow, using its power for high-performance systems programming and beyond.

This book is your go-to guide for bringing Rust into your tech stack to build secure, high-performance software. Designed for developers and tech leads, this book offers tools and insights for seamlessly adopting Rust in multi-language environments, modernizing workflows, and optimizing legacy systems. It explains Rust's type system and safety features while providing step-by-step examples for working with C, C++, databases, embedded systems, and WebAssembly. Learn to replace critical components, design efficient systems, and enhance web and cloud applications. This book contains practical tips to help you achieve scalability, reliability, and top-notch performance.

System programming is a challenging yet rewarding field that demands speed, precision, and complete control over resources like memory and hardware. For decades, languages like C and C++ have dominated this space, but Rust is emerging as a revolutionary alternative. Rust’s emphasis on safety, performance, and modern programming paradigms has made it the go-to choice for system developers aiming to build reliable and efficient applications.

This book, Integrating Rust, is designed to provide a comprehensive guide to Rust, focusing on its application in system programming. From fundamental concepts to advanced topics, the book covers everything you need to develop robust, scalable, and secure system-level programs. Whether you are a seasoned programmer looking to migrate from C++ or a beginner exploring Rust, this book caters to all levels of expertise.

With this book, you will learn to write idiomatic Rust code, master Rust’s ownership and concurrency model, and explore its capabilities in system-level programming, including working with embedded systems, network programming, and scripting. You will also gain practical experience through numerous examples, hands-on projects, and demonstrations of best practices.

By the end of this book, you will be well-equipped to integrate Rust into your projects, avoid common mistakes, and deliver efficient, secure software aligned with modern standards.

Key Features:

- Learn Rust basics and write efficient, idiomatic code for various projects.
- Build programming fluency through practical projects that enhance real-world coding skills.
- Explore Rust’s speed, safety, and concurrency, making it ideal for startups, large companies, and scalable web services.

What you will learn:

- Optimize legacy systems by rewriting performance-critical components in Rust.
- Integrate Rust with existing C, C++, and WebAssembly projects.
