This is the code repository for Mastering Rust - Second Edition, published by Packt.
Learn about memory safety, type system, concurrency, and the new features of Rust 2018 edition
Rust is an empowering language that provides a rare combination of safety, speed, and zero-cost abstractions. Mastering Rust – Second Edition is filled with clear and simple explanations of the language features along with real-world examples, showing you how you can build robust, scalable, and reliable programs.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Write generic and type-safe code by using Rust’s powerful type system
- How memory safety works without garbage collection
- Know the different strategies in error handling and when to use them
- Learn how to use concurrency primitives such as threads and channels
- Use advanced macros to reduce boilerplate code
- Create efficient web applications with the Actix-web framework
- Use Diesel for type-safe database interactions in your web application

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
fn main() {
println!("Hello Rust!");
}
Following is what you need for this book: The book is aimed at beginner and intermediate programmers who already have familiarity with any imperative language and have only heard of Rust as a new language. If you are a developer who wants to write robust, efficient and maintainable software systems and want to become proficient with Rust, this book is for you. It starts by giving a whirlwind tour of the important concepts of Rust and covers advanced features of the language in subsequent chapters using code examples that readers will find useful to advance their knowledge.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-17).
| Chapter | Software required | OS required |
