Description
Master professional-level coding in Rust.
Intermediate Rust is a next-steps book for Rust developers who've mastered the basics, covering everything you need to build and maintain larger, more complex code bases.
Author Jon Gjengset digs deep into the Rust language and standard library, dissecting topics like ownership, traits, lifetimes, concurrency, and unsafe and asynchronous code, with an eye towards developing working understanding and real-world applicability. The book focuses on how the language works, and aims to give you the insights you need to write more ergonomic, higher performance Rust programs. You'll also learn the ins and outs of macros, foreign function interfaces, and no-std development for those more finicky use-cases. By the end, you should be able to build out your programs in size, scope, and complexity with confidence.

Person
Jon Gjengset has worked in the Rust ecosystem since the early days of Rust 1.0, and built a high-performance relational database from scratch in Rust over the course of his PhD at MIT. He's been a frequent contributor to the Rust toolchain and ecosystem, including the asynchronous runtime tokio, and maintains several popular Rust crates, such as hdrhistogram and inferno. Jon has been teaching Rust since 2018, when he started live-streaming intermediate-level Rust programming. Since then, he's made videos that cover advanced topics like async and await, pinning, variance, atomics, dynamic dispatch, and more, which have been received enthusiastically by the Rust community.
David Tolnay, who reviewed the book's technical content, is a prolific, well-known, and respected contributor in the Rust ecosystem who maintains some of the most widely used Rust libraries, including syn, serde, and anyhow. He is also a member of the Rust library team.
