Network Programming with Rust

Network Programming with Rust

Rust has steadily become one of the most important new programming languages in recent years. One the one hand, it is low-level enough to provide fine-grained control over memory while providing memory-safety through compile-time validation. Rust also guarantees data race-free parallelism. All these features make it uniquely suitable for writing low-level networking applications. This book will help developers get started on writing such applications in Rust.

Rust High Performance

Rust High Performance

Sometimes it's difficult to get the best performance out of Rust. This book teaches you how to optimize the speed of your Rust code to the level of languages such as C/C++.

Master the features of the language that make it stand out and use them to really improve the efficiency of your algorithms.

Hands-On Concurrency with Rust

Hands-On Concurrency with Rust

Writing safe and correct parallel programs is tough. Reasoning about concurrent memory modification is tough; efficiently exploiting the modern computing environment (with its multi-layered caches and deep execution pipelines) is also tough. Most systems programming languages add a further complication: unsafe memory access. The burden on you, the programmer, lies across two domains: understanding the modern machine and understanding your language's pain-points. Rust, with its safe memory model and strong type system, eases this last burden without sacrificing performance. This book will teach you to reason about program performance on modern machines and build fast, memory-safe, and concurrent software in Rust.
