You’ll be learning Rust by delving into how computers work under the hood. You’ll find yourself playing with persistent storage, memory, networking and even tinkering with CPU instructions. The book takes you through using Rust to extend other applications and teaches you tricks to write blindingly fast code. You’ll also discover parallel and concurrent programming. Filled to the brim with real-life use cases and scenarios, you’ll go beyond the Rust syntax and see what Rust has to offer in real-world use cases. Richard Feldman, author of Elm in Action, goes over the benefits of this multi-paradigm, high-level, general-purpose language together with Tim McNamara, author of Rust in Action. * Book description: © : The interview is based on Tim’s book “Rust in Action: Systems programming concepts & techniques“: TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:56 Why should you learn Rust? 09:16 What does segmentation fault really mean? 11:51 Intro to the Rust world 18:51 The hardest things to teach in Rust 28:25 The good parts of Rust 32:37 Safe Rust 39:25 Timekeeping in the book 47:16 The writing process 49:56 Outro RECOMMENDED BOOKS Tim McNamara • Rust in Action • Richard Feldman • Elm in Action • Brenden Matthews • Code Like a Pro in Rust • Prabhu Eshwarla • Rust Servers, Services & Apps • Bastian Gruber • Rust Web Development • Blandy, Orendorff & Tindall • Programming Rust • Ken Youens-Clark • Command-Line Rust • Kevin Hoffman • Programming WebAssembly with Rust • #GOTObookclub #GOTOcon #GOTOconferences #LegendsOfSoftware #GOTOams #GOTOchgo #GOTOber #GOTOcph #GOTOnights #SoftwareEngineering #Rust #Rustlang #RustInAction #SystemsProgramming #ComputerScience #TimMcNamara #RichardFeldman #Programming #PersistentStorage #Networking #SegmentationFault #Timekeeping Looking for a unique learning experience?
