Who this book is for

This book is for developers with some prior programming experience who want to learn asynchronous programming from the ground up so they can be proficient in async Rust and be able to participate in technical discussions on the subject. The book is perfect for those who like writing working examples they can pick apart, expand, and experiment with. There are two kinds of personas that I feel this book is especially relevant to:

Developers coming from higher-level languages with a garbage collector, interpreter, or runtime, such as C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Swift, or Go. Programmers who have extensive experience with asynchronous programming in any of these languages but want to learn it from the ground up and programmers with no experience with asynchronous programming should both find this book equally useful.
Developers with experience in languages such as C or C++ that have limited experience with asynchronous programming.
