Mara L Refactoring to Rust (MEAP v8) 2022

Textbook in PDF format

Get the speed and reliability of Rust libraries, functions, and high-performance features through incremental adoption without rewriting your codebase from scratch.
In Refactoring to Rust you will learn to:
- Create Rust libraries you can call from other programming languages
- Integrate Rust functions with code in other languages
- Use Rust’s ownership and borrowing system to write high performance code
- Handle errors as values using Rust’s enums
- Minimize unnecessary memory usage with Rust’s multiple string types
- Boost performance with Rust concurrency and async event processing
- Create Rust HTTP services
Refactoring to Rust teaches you how to take advantage of Rust’s easy-to-use interoperating mechanisms. Learn practical code-mixing techniques like embedding Rust libraries into apps written in other languages. This practical guide emphasises techniques for incrementally refactoring performance-critical code to Rust while keeping the rest of your application in its original language
