Rust Essentials

Rust Essentials

Rust is the new, open source, fast and safe systems programming language for the 21st century, developed at Mozilla Research, and with a steadily growing community. It was created to solve the dilemma between high-level, slow code with minimal control over the system, and low-level, fast code with maximum system control. “Rust Essentials” will give you a head start to solve systems programming and application tasks with Rust. It is no longer necessary to learn C / C++ to develop resource intensive and low-level systems applications.
