Develop data models in Rust to interact with the database

Description

Are safety and high performance a big concern for you while developing web applications? While most programming languages have a safety or speed trade-off, Rust provides memory safety without using a garbage collector. This means that with its low memory footprint, you can build high-performance and secure web apps with relative ease. This book will take you through each stage of the web development process, showing you how to combine Rust and modern web development principles to build supercharged web apps. You'll start with an introduction to Rust and understand how to avoid common pitfalls when migrating from traditional dynamic programming languages. The book will show you how to structure Rust code for a project that spans multiple pages and modules. Next, you'll explore the Actix Web framework and get a basic web server up and running. As you advance, you'll learn how to process JSON requests and display data from the web app via HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You'll also be able to persist data and create RESTful services in Rust. Later, you'll build an automated deployment process for the app on an AWS EC2 instance and Docker Hub. Finally, you'll play around with some popular web frameworks in Rust and compare them. By the end of this Rust book, you'll be able to confidently create scalable and fast web applications with Rust.

Who is this book for?

This book on web programming with Rust is for web developers who have programmed in traditional languages such as Python, Ruby, JavaScript, and Java and are looking to develop high-performance web applications with Rust. Although no prior experience with Rust is necessary, a solid understanding of web development principles and basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are required if you want to get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

Structure scalable web apps in Rust in Rocket, Actix Web, and Warp

Apply data persistence for your web apps using PostgreSQL

Build login, JWT, and config modules for your web apps

Serve HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from the Actix Web server

Build unit tests and functional API tests in Postman and Newman

Deploy the Rust app with NGINX and Docker onto an AWS EC2 instance

So I got this book, as I wanted to learn Rust. I had no prior experience with Rust before. But, I was hearing a hype about it. So, I decided I'd get a book and learn about it. This book definitely teaches you the basics to get going and understand Rust. I was able to code some basic stuff to start off on. If you plan to learn Rust and are new to it, you should definitely get this book and get your Rust skills going.

Very good book, explain very well. Actix framework major parts covered. But rocket framework not fully covered.For rust beginners this is one of the best book.

The title begins with an overview of the Rust language, the pace of which would suit a programmer coming from another language over to rust more than someone with no programming experience. This is further built upon with a tour of the Cargo system in Rust which is well written and informative without being overbearing. I would suspect for most people Rust is not their first language and therefore at this point in Rust's maturity and user-base I feel the pacing here is suited to the likeliest audience.On to building web services. The book teaches how to use the Actix framework which is a hugely popular choice, it covers how to handle async and how to process all the typical HTTP traffic related to web applications and services and the errors you will likely incur. Again if you're coming from another web-scale language you will be learning some syntax and packages usage more than new concepts. This is a positive or a negative depending on your expectations. You then build upon these basics by adding a persistence layer using Postgres and this is no heavier or more cumbersome than it is for other languages thankfully.Finally, we're on the home straight of test and deployment.I didn't actually deploy my code-along to AWS, I mostly used the book as a preparation for writing a web service in Rust as a proof of concept in my work, referring back to the book as well as Googling to resolve my issues and wrong turns. I felt the book was very much pitched at conversion programmers looking to onboard Rust and think a complete newbie might be overwhelmed as there is a lot to tackle here. I haven't decided to rewrite all my projects in Rust but neither have I vowed not to use Rust again. This book is a satisfactory way to map your knowledge to a new language, framework and associated ecosystem packages. I enjoyed the further reading recommendations to bolster what I had learned about Rust on the journey. The quality of the content and the writing style were good. Would give this a 4/5.

I've learned to program from many books and have over 10 years of experience in the field. This is the most poorly written programming book I've ever read; it's the first time I've felt like my role was more around editing and less around learning.A good practice when writing a technical book like this is to place the path to the file above code snippets. This makes it clear where you need to edit code. In this book they are strewn about in the paragraphs above the code blocks making it require a good deal of mental processing to manual map the snippets to the place you have to edit. This becomes problematic when the book has two code snippets right next to each other; it becomes easy to put the code in the wrong file.Especially irritating are the syntax errors in the code examples themselves. I was eventually able to fix them but this is the last thing an author can allow in a book teaching people to code! *Some* of the errors I found include an extra garbage character in the Cargo.toml file on page 156, miss-spelled css properties on page 197, and other things I'm too tired to catalog.The combination of poor code referencing and quality issues in the code itself caused me to spend way more time just decrypting the book than paying attention to the actual content I actually cared about.Finally, the version of actix-web is 2 major versions out of date, and of course the other libraries are stale as well. While trying to debug a cryptic error I was getting from the serde crate which does JSON deserialization the solution was to ... upgrade. This of course isn't an option because the versions are now so old that doing so would break everything else and would have rendered the rest of the book unusable.I do think the author is smart. It provides good design practices and tells you how to build an app from scratch and host it the way you would do so in the real world. Someone new to rust programming can benefit from the high level overview. I did manage to get some very valuable information out of the book even if I felt I spent too much effort to get it.But my honest opinion is you are better off looking for a more modern book. The web technologies and rust crates have significantly evolved since this was published and the book hasn't been updated. Look somewhere else.
