"Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches" - just one month and one hour a day to start writing code in Rust! This book teaches you to write ultra-fast and safe code in Rust through short lessons that can easily fit into your lunch break. Clear explanations and relevant examples make the book accessible to everyone, even if Rust is your first programming language.
Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches
After reading the book, you will be able to:
- Create real programs in Rust
- Understand compiler messages and Clippy - a tool for code writing suggestions
- Make informed decisions about choosing the right types in different contexts
- Navigate the Rust standard library and its popular components
- Use third-party Rust libraries (“crates”) to solve common tasks
- Document your Rust code
- Work with libraries using asynchronous Rust
- Write simple declarative macros
- Master the test-driven development (TDD) approach in Rust
About the technology
Rust is a modern programming language that offers low-level performance comparable to C, but without the complex syntax, memory management issues, and code safety concerns. Rust combines a powerful compiler, a rich library ecosystem, and high performance.
About the book
“Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches” divides learning the language into 24 small lessons, each of which can be completed in an hour or less. The examples are easy to understand, allowing you to quickly transition from zero knowledge of Rust to mastering asynchronous programming and creating your own macros. The code from the book can be run in the browser environment Rust Playground, so you won't need to set up a development environment. It’s the easiest way to start programming in Rust!
About the Author: Dave MacLeod
Dave MacLeod is a New Zealand–based software engineer and technical author who has written introductory books on a wide range of programming languages — including Easy Rust, Learn TypeScript in 50 Lessons, and Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches (Manning). His writing style is unusually accessible: short examples, plain language, and a deliberate focus on the parts of a language that beginners actually trip on.
His CourseFlix listing carries Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches — the video / course companion to the Manning book of the same name, aimed at developers picking up Rust as a second or third language.
