This book focuses on the practical usage of Rust, while considering the big-picture themes, limitations of Rust and its tooling, and how developers can become productive with Rust quickly. The text is not an introduction to the Rust language, nor is it a replacement for the official Rust documentation. This book supplements the existing documentation and resources available for Rust and provides the most important lessons you won’t find in Rust documentation in one place. While Code Like a Pro in Rust does not provide an exhaustive reference for the Rust language, I do indicate where to go for additional information when appropriate.
Who should read this book?
Readers of this book should be familiar with Rust and consider themselves beginner to intermediate Rust programmers. If you have never used Rust, you may find this book difficult to read, as it contains many references to Rust-specific features, for which I will not spend much time discussing the background. If you find yourself confused about Rust syntax or technical details, I recommended starting with Rust in Action by Tim McNamara (Manning, 2021) or the official Rust book at https:// doc.rust-lang.org/book/.
For those who are intermediate to advanced Rust programmers, some content in this book might be familiar. In your case, I recommend you skip ahead to the chapters most interesting to you.
