Code Like A Pro in Rust is a fast-track guide to building and delivering professional quality software in Rust. You’ll upgrade your basic knowledge of Rust with conventions, best practices, and veteran’s secrets that are normally only learned through years of experience. Skip the fluff and get right to the heart of this powerful modern language, including Rust’s support for asynchronous programming and integrating Rust with codebases written in other languages.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the technology
Programmers prize Rust for its safety, performance, and security. However, its strict syntax and tricky memory management can make it challenging to master. This practical guide shows you how to balance Rust’s trade offs, lessen its cognitive load, and rapidly bring your productivity to a professional level.

About the book
Code Like a Pro in Rust shows you how to quickly create and ship Rust programs without wasting time on language quirks, compiler problems, and unexpected complexities. It builds on your existing Rust knowledge with design patterns and shortcuts direct from veteran Rust contributor Brenden Matthews . You’ll learn to use important Rust tooling like rust-analyzer, Clippy, and Cargo, as well as best practices for unit testing and code optimization. By the time you’re done, you’ll be writing high quality code with less maintenance overhead.

About the reader
For aspiring Rust pros familiar with the basics of the language.

Great follow up book to understand Rust deeply, especially for some advanced topics.

This is really a good book companion for "Learn Rust in a month of lunches" from the same publisher which focus on the specific gotchas in Rust.

Definitely good references despite not really long pages, some of the discussion not really deep, but the author give some good pointers so we can read more further

This book covers a lot: tooling, data structures, error handling, traits, memory management, testing, async rust, I might have forgotten some other topics.

The author does a great job at explaining each subject and each chapter is full of code examples to keep the reader's attention. Some chapters may require more time to read and understand, but they offer the advantage of being revisited even after an initial reading. Overall, a pleasant reading experience.

It's a good book to get familiar with Rust and understand its core principles, but also learn more advanced topics. If you like (or use) Rust, you'll most probably like this book too.
