The Rust Programming Language

This book is the official guide to Rust, an open-source systems programming language.

It covers everything from the basics of creating functions, choosing data types, and binding variables to advanced concepts such as ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, error handling, and fearless concurrency.

The book includes concept chapters and project chapters, where readers apply what they have learned by building small programs, including a number-guessing game, a Rust implementation of a command line tool, and a multithreaded server.

It emphasizes Rust’s ability to provide low-level control without the traditional risks of crashes or security holes, making it suitable for a wide range of programming tasks, from CLI apps to web servers.
