In Multiplayer Game Development in Rust you’ll learn how to build performance-optimized applications in Rust by developing your own multiplayer game backend. You’ll iterate on your backend in every chapter, adding new features as you go. Discover how Rust can deliver increased performance and memory safety, and take advantage of handy Rust tools and libraries that can help with the heavy lifting.
This is the MEAP with only first 4 chapters. The exposition and examples have good pacing of the increments. I felt like each increment balanced do something interesting with being understandable.
