Rust Programming By Example

Discover the world of Rust programming through real-world examplesKey Features Implement various features of Rust to build blazingly fast applications Learn to build GUI applications using Gtk-rs Explore the multi-threading aspect of Rust to tackle problems in concurrency and in distributed environmentsBook DescriptionRust is an open source safe concurrent practical language created by Mozilla. It runs blazingly fast prevents segfaults and guarantees safety. This book gets you started with essential software development by guiding you through the different aspects of Rust programming. With this approach you can bridge the gap between learning and implementing immediately. Beginning with an introduction to Rust you’ll learn the basic aspects such as its syntax data types functions generics control flows and more. After this you’ll jump straight into building your first project a Tetris game. Next you’ll build a graphical music player and work with fast reliable networking software using Tokio the scalable and productive asynchronous IO Rust library. Over the course of this book you’ll explore various features of Rust Programming including its SDL features event loop File I/O and the famous GTK+ widget toolkit. Through these projects you’ll see how well Rust performs in terms of concurrency―including parallelism reliability improved performance generics macros and thread safety. We’ll also cover some asynchronous and reactive programming aspects of Rust.By the end of the book you’ll be comfortable building various real-world applications in Rust.What you will learn Compile and run the Rust projects using the Cargo-Rust Package manager Use Rust-SDL features such as the event loop windows infinite loops pattern matching and more Create a graphical interface using Gtk-rs and Rust-SDL Incorporate concurrency mechanism and multi-threading along with thread safety and locks Implement the FTP protocol using an Asynchronous I/O stack with the Tokio libraryWho this book is forThis book is for software developers interested in system level and application programming who are looking for a quick entry into using Rust and understanding the core features of the Rust Programming. It’s assumed that you have a basic understanding of Java C# Ruby Python or JavaScript.
