Explore various Rust features, data structures, libraries, and toolchain to build modern systems software with the help of hands-on examples Key FeaturesLearn techniques to design and build system tools and utilities in RustExplore the different features of the Rust standard library for interacting with operating systemsGain an in-depth understanding of the Rust programming language by writing low-level softwareBook Description Modern programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, and Java have become increasingly accepted for application-level programming, but for systems programming, C and C++ are predominantly used due to the need for low-level control of system resources. Rust promises the best of both worlds: the type safety of Java, and the speed and expressiveness of C++, while also including memory safety without a garbage collector. This book is a comprehensive introduction if you’re new to Rust and systems programming and are looking to build reliable and efficient systems software without C or C++. The book takes a unique approach by starting each topic with Linux kernel concepts and APIs relevant to that topic. You’ll also explore how system resources can be controlled from Rust. As you progress, you’ll delve into advanced topics. You’ll cover network programming, focusing on aspects such as working with low-level network primitives and protocols in Rust, before going on to learn how to use and compile Rust with WebAssembly. Later chapters will take you through practical code examples and projects to help you build on your knowledge. By the end of this Rust programming book, you will be equipped with practical skills to write systems software tools, libraries, and utilities in Rust. What you will learnGain a solid understanding of how system resources are managedUse Rust confidently to control and operate a Linux or Unix systemUnderstand how to write a host of practical systems software tools and utilitiesDelve into memory management with the memory layout of Rust programsDiscover the capabilities and features of the Rust Standard LibraryExplore external crates to improve productivity for future Rust programming projectsWho this book is for This book is for developers with basic knowledge of Rust but little to no knowledge or experience of systems programming. System programmers who want to consider Rust as an alternative to C or C++ will also find this book useful.
Blockchain For Rust Developers
Book Description This book is a part of Knoldus Rust Programming Series. There is a lot of hype surrounding the concept of the blockchain, but what does this term actually mean? What is blockchain? How does it work under the hood? What are Blockchain's real-world use cases? How you can build your own blockchain application? You will get these answers in this book. This book begins with the basic concepts of the blockchain (such as block, transactions, mining, reward, proof of work), teaching you the fundamentals of cryptography and how blockchain works under the hood. This book serves as a practical guide to developing an application with Rust to interact with the various building blocks of blockchain applications. This book gives an overview of this leading blockchain technology and its implementation in the real world. Some people think that it's difficult to grasp how blockchain works and the complexity of maintaining the blockchain. If you also think the same, this book is for you. This book will walk you through the essentials of how blockchain technology works, using simple explanations and examples along the way. Rust was selected as the basis for this book attributing to its wide popularity, ease of understanding and learning for those who haven't used it. Rust has been the "most loved programming language" in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey every year since 2016. Not only it does provide a unique combination of performance and security, but it also empowers developers with the tools to start shipping their code faster. What You'll Learn What is Blockchain Why do we need Blockchain Blockchain real-world use cases Bitcoin cryptocurrency: Most Popular Application of Blockchain How Blockchain works under the hood What is Rust and Why Rust programming language is preferred for Blockchain development Create Blockchain application using Rust By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed in blockchain programming and be able to build end-to-end applications using Rust.Who This Book Is For If you are a Rust developer or you have a basic understanding of Rust programming language and you want to enter the world of blockchain, this book is for you. This book will provide you step by step guide for developing blockchain application using Rust About The Author Ayush Kumar Mishra is a Sr. Lead Software Consultant based in India. He is currently working with Knoldus, an organization where knowledge sharing and upskilling each Knolder is a way of life, which is the only organization to be partners with Lightbend, Databricks, Confluent and Datastax to deliver high-quality reactive products to its global clients. He has total 11 years of working experience. He has been working in Rust for more than 2 years. He is also a DataStax certified Cassandra developer. He loves to troubleshoot complex problems and look for the best solutions. In his career, he has successfully developed and delivered various applications with Scala, Lagom, Akka HTTP, Java, Rust. He has been involved in Blockchain technology for the last couple of months.
Programming Rust
Rust is a new systems programming language that combines the performance and low-level control of C and C++ with memory safety and thread safety. Rust’s modern, flexible types ensure your program is free of null pointer dereferences, double frees, dangling pointers, and similar bugs, all at compile time, without runtime overhead. In multi-threaded code, Rust catches data races at compile time, making concurrency much easier to use. Written by two experienced systems programmers, this book explains how Rust manages to bridge the gap between performance and safety, and how you can take advantage of it. Topics include: How Rust represents values in memory (with diagrams) Complete explanations of ownership, moves, borrows, and lifetimes Cargo, rustdoc, unit tests, and how to publish your code on crates.io, Rust’s public package repository High-level features like generic code, closures, collections, and iterators that make Rust productive and flexible Concurrency in Rust: threads, mutexes, channels, and atomics, all much safer to use than in C or C++ Unsafe code, and how to preserve the integrity of ordinary code that uses it Extended examples illustrating how pieces of the language fit together
