Rust in Action is a hands-on guide to systems programming with Rust. Written for inquisitive programmers, it presents real-world use cases that go far beyond syntax and structure.SummaryRust in Action introduces the Rust programming language by exploring numerous systems programming concepts and techniques. You'll be learning Rust by delving into how computers work under the hood. You'll find yourself playing with persistent storage, memory, networking and even tinkering with CPU instructions. The book takes you through using Rust to extend other applications and teaches you tricks to write blindingly fast code. You'll also discover parallel and concurrent programming. Filled to the brim with real-life use cases and scenarios, you'll go beyond the Rust syntax and see what Rust has to offer in real-world use cases.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the technologyRust is the perfect language for systems programming. It delivers the low-level power of C along with rock-solid safety features that let you code fearlessly. Ideal for applications requiring concurrency, Rust programs are compact, readable, and blazingly fast. Best of all, Rusts famously smart compiler helps you avoid even subtle coding errors.About the bookRust in Action is a hands-on guide to systems programming with Rust. Written for inquisitive programmers, it presents real-world use cases that go far beyond syntax and structure. Youll explore Rust implementations for file manipulation, networking, and kernel-level programming and discover awesome techniques for parallelism and concurrency. Along the way, youll master Rusts unique borrow checker model for memory management without a garbage collector.What's insideElementary to advanced Rust programmingPractical examples from systems programmingCommand-line, graphical and networked applicationsAbout the readerFor intermediate programmers. No previous experience with Rust required.About the authorTim McNamara uses Rust to build data processing pipelines and generative art. He is an expert in natural language processing and data engineering.Table of Contents1 Introducing RustPART 1 RUST LANGUAGE DISTINCTIVES2 Language foundations3 Compound data types4 Lifetimes, ownership, and borrowingPART 2 DEMYSTIFYING SYSTEMS PROGRAMMING5 Data in depth6 Memory7 Files and storage8 Networking9 Time and timekeeping10 Processes, threads, and containers11 Kernel12 Signals, interrupts, and exceptions
