In Detail
Rust aims to bring modern language design sign and an advanced type system to systems programming. This book will help you to practically implement the Rust programming language in real world projects. The projects would be of increasing complexity and would enable the readers to learn Rust programming concepts through a practical and hands on approach.
We start off with writing a simple command line project in Rust which will cover all the core concepts and give an overall perspective of building Rust applications. Further this book will teach you how to create a customized data parser in Rust and understand the different functionalities of nom crate. Later you'll be taken through the piston module thereby teaching you how to build high performance games and interactive application using Rust. You can then look into projects that cover Rust on the web by building a Web API with Nickel framework and will learn to integrate with Diesel - a library for building compile-time safe database interactions. Lastly, you'll be creating multiple modules in the python library and learn to build a scalable, real time chat service in Rust.
By the end of the book, you will be adept with the knowledge of Rust to practically implement it in real world projects.
