With over 50,000 copies sold, The Rust Programming Language is the
quintessential guide to programming in Rust. Thoroughly updated to
Rust's latest version, this edition is considered the language's
official documentation.
The Rust Programming Language "covers everything you could want to
know about the language."--Stack Overflow
Rust has been repeatedly voted "Most Loved Language" on the
StackOverflow Developer Survey.
The Rust Programming Language, 2nd Edition is the official guide to
Rust 2021: an open source systems programming language that will help
you write faster, more reliable software. Rust provides control of
low-level details along with high-level ergonomics, allowing you to
improve productivity and eliminate the hassle traditionally associated
with low-level languages.
Klabnik and Nichols, alumni of the Rust Core Team, share their knowledge
to help you get the most out of Rust's features so that you can create
robust and scalable programs. You'll begin with basics like creating
functions, choosing data types, and binding variables, then move on to
more advanced concepts, such as:
-
Ownership and borrowing, lifetimes, generics, traits, and trait
objects to communicate your program's constraints to the compiler
-
Smart pointers and multithreading, and how ownership interacts with
them to enable fearless concurrency
-
How to use Cargo, Rust's built-in package manager, to build, document
your code, and manage dependencies
-
The best ways to test, handle errors, refactor, and take advantage of
expressive pattern matching
In addition to the countless code examples, you'll find three chapters
dedicated to building complete projects: a number-guessing game, a Rust
implementation of a command line tool, and a multithreaded server.
