Get "close to the machine" by programming with Rust! Discover how to effectively use this low-level language to create fast and efficient code. Set up Rust, compile your first program, and learn the language essentials: variables, functions, conditionals, and more. Walk through Rust’s unique ownership model and modular system, and then move on to more complex features, from flexibility and abstraction to web programming and text processing. Numerous code examples and exercises make this your go-to practical resource for Rust!

Since its inception, Rust has rapidly gained popularity due to its emphasis on memory safety, performance, and concurrency. As the demand for safer and more efficient systems programming grows, developers and organizations have increasingly turned to Rust to build reliable software. This book is designed to bridge the gap between Rust’s powerful features and practical implementation, offering a structured and hands-on approach to mastering the language. This book provides a deep dive into Rust’s core concepts, covering everything from ownership and borrowing to advanced features like smart pointers, concurrency, and metaprogramming. We explore how Rust enables developers to write safe and efficient code without compromising performance, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications—from embedded systems to web services. Whether you’re new to Rust or looking to refine your expertise, this book serves as a comprehensive resource, equipping you with knowledge and tools to build robust and high-performance software in Rust.

In this book, you’ll learn аbout:

a. Language Basics
Take your first steps with Rust! After installation and setup in Visual Studio Code, walk through the language building blocks, from variables to functions to enums. Learn how to implement ownership, define types, test your code, and more.

b. Intermediate Programming
Expand your toolkit for Rust programming! Write flexible code with generics and traits, incorporate features of functional programming, manage memory, implement data structures, and handle structs.

c. Advanced Topics
Become a Rust master! Tackle advanced topics, including sized and unsized types, concurrency via threading, the powerful macro system, web programming, text processing, and file and directory handling.

Highlights include:

1) Language basics
2) Control flow
3) Ownership
4) Structs and enums
5) Generics and traits
6) Modular structure
7) Memory management
8) Testing
9) Concurrency
10) Functional programming
11) Web programming
12) Text processing and file handling

Target Audience:
This book is designed for a wide range of readers, from beginners with no prior experience in Rust to experienced programmers looking to deepen their understanding of the language. Those new to Rust will benefit from its structured progression, which introduces fundamental concepts before advancing to more complex topics like ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. Developers familiar with other languages such as C++, Python, or Java will find detailed explanations of Rust’s unique features, helping them transition smoothly. The book is also valuable for system programmers, application developers, and those interested in safe concurrency. Whether you are a student, a professional developer, or a researcher, this book provides the necessary tools to master Rust efficiently.
