Introduction to Rust and its Ecosystem

The Rust programming language is sponsored by Mozilla and supported by a community of developers from across the globe. Rust is promoted as a systems programming language that supports automatic memory management without the overhead of a runtime or a garbage collector, concurrency without data races enforced by the compiler, and zero cost abstractions and generics. In subsequent sections, we will discuss these features in more detail. Rust is statically typed and borrows a number of functional programming ideas. A fascinating aspect of Rust is the use of the type system to guarantee memory safety without using a runtime. This makes Rust uniquely suitable for low-resource embedded devices and real-time systems, which require strong guarantees around code correctness. On the flip side, this often means that the compiler has to do a lot more...

Key benefits

Build a solid foundation in Rust while also mastering important network programming details

Leverage the power of a number of available libraries to perform network operations in Rust

Develop a fully functional web server to gain the skills you need, fast

Description

Rust is low-level enough to provide fine-grained control over memory while providing safety through compile-time validation. This makes it uniquely suitable for writing low-level networking applications. This book is divided into three main parts that will take you on an exciting journey of building a fully functional web server. The book starts with a solid introduction to Rust and essential networking concepts. This will lay a foundation for, and set the tone of, the entire book. In the second part, we will take an in-depth look at using Rust for networking software. From client-server networking using sockets to IPv4/v6, DNS, TCP, UDP, you will also learn about serializing and deserializing data using serde. The book shows how to communicate with REST servers over HTTP. The final part of the book discusses asynchronous network programming using the Tokio stack. Given the importance of security for modern systems, you will see how Rust supports common primitives such as TLS and public-key cryptography. After reading this book, you will be more than confident enough to use Rust to build effective networking software

What you will learn

Appreciate why networking is important in implementing distributed systems

Parse JSON and binary data using parser combinators such as nom

Write an HTTP client that talks to the server using reqwest

Modify an existing Rust HTTTP server and add SSL to it

Master asynchronous programming support in Rust

Use external packages in a Rust project

Ce livre est étonnamment bon. On sent le travail de l'auteur dans la précision du vocabulaire, dans les exemples choisis.L'auteur prend le temps d'expliquer les bases des réseaux et de Rust. Mais pas que les bases, ça se complexifie, toujours avec des explications rigoureuses.Ensuite les exemples de code sont proches de ce qu'on voudrait réellement coder et sont bien expliqués.Les bonnes librairies (nommées crates pour Rust) sont présentées et utilisées dans les exemples (dont tokio).Mon seul bémol, qui n'a rien à voir avec le contenu du livre, est sur la qualité d'impression. C'est un livre probablement imprimé par Amazon directement après la commande et la qualité d'impression de la couverture est assez mauvaise. C'est lisible mais un peu flou pour les petits caractères. Vu le prix du livre c'est quand même dommage.

A lot of the problem with coding books comes from either being too concise or not concise enough. This book correctly achieves a perfect balance between the two. The book doesn't bog you down with easily Google-able details, instead it focuses more on a high level understanding of the way networking works (which is still very detailed).However, this book is not targeted at complete beginners. You should have a decent amount of programming experience with a systems language (preferably Rust).

This is a remarkably good book. Far better than I expected. The author must have put in a lot of work to create all these really clear code examples.

Just gives you an introduction to network programming with Rust and also introduces various available libraries in the domain, not for advanced learners.

The core of the book is 200 pages long , and the author doesn't go through the book explaining much of the code. He just sort of presents the code in a manner that says "this is just how it is." No real explanation as to why. I kept thinking i got a pre-release copy , the book feels unfinished, like he meant to go back and flesh out more of the explanations , but didn't. You'll have to do ALOT of research while reading this book.
