"Ric Messier delivers a concise step-by-step guide to the essentials of the Rust programming language. The book is designed to allow the reader to begin programming useful tools almost immediately. It takes a practical approach to teaching Rust by showing the language in the context of similar programming languages. Eschewing a dry and theoretical approach, the book helps you jump right into the language with interesting programs drawn from classic computer science problems. You'll discover how to make the most use of Rust's efficiency and performance without encountering the errors and crashes you might experience in other common languages like C and C++. The book covers the language's fundamentals, including language syntax, data types and structures, and other features and techniques for developing programs. It discusses Rust's rich type system and ownership model that helps you guarantee memorysafety and thread-safety, eliminating many classes of bugs at compile-time."--Provided by publisher.
