The Rust Programming Language

The Rust Programming Language

The Rust Programming Language is the official book on Rust, an open-source, community-developed systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. This is the undisputed go-to guide to Rust, written by two members of the Rust core team, with feedback and contributions from 42 members of the community. The book assumes that youâ€™ve written code in another programming language but makes no assumptions about which one, meaning the material is accessible and useful to developers from a wide variety of programming backgrounds.
Â
Known by the Rust community as â€œThe Book,â€ The Rust Programming Language includes concept chapters, where youâ€™ll learn about a particular aspect of Rust, and project chapters, where youâ€™ll apply what youâ€™ve learned so far to build small programs.Â
Â
The Book opens with a quick hands-on project to introduce the basics then explores key concepts in depth, such as ownership, the type system, error handling, and fearless concurrency. Next come detailed explanations of Rust-oriented perspectives on topics like pattern matching, iterators, and smart pointers, with concrete examples and exercises--taking you from theory to practice.
Â
The Rust Programming Language will also show you how to:
- Grasp important concepts unique to Rust, like ownership, borrowing, and
Â lifetimes
- Use Cargo, Rustâ€™s built-in package manager, to build and maintain your code,
Â including downloading and building dependencies
- Effectively use Rustâ€™s zero-cost abstractions and employ your own
Â
Youâ€™ll learn to develop reliable code thatâ€™s speed and memory efficient, while avoiding the infamous and arcane programming pitfalls common at the systems level. When you need to dive down into lower-level control, this guide will show you how without taking on the customary risk of crashes or security holes and without requiring you to learn the fine points of a fickle toolchain.
Â
Youâ€™ll also learn how to create command line programs, build single- and multithreaded web servers, and much more.
Â
The Rust Programming Language fully embraces Rustâ€™s potential to empower its users. This friendly and approachable guide will help you build not only your knowledge of Rust but also your ability to program with confidence in a wider variety of domains.
