Enhance your purchase

The Rust Programming Language is the official book on Rust, an open-source, community-developed systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. This is the undisputed go-to guide to Rust, written by two members of the Rust core team, with feedback and contributions from 42 members of the community. The book assumes that you’ve written code in another programming language but makes no assumptions about which one, meaning the material is accessible and useful to developers from a wide variety of programming backgrounds.

Known by the Rust community as “The Book,” The Rust Programming Language includes concept chapters, where you’ll learn about a particular aspect of Rust, and project chapters, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned so far to build small programs.

The Book opens with a quick hands-on project to introduce the basics then explores key concepts in depth, such as ownership, the type system, error handling, and fearless concurrency. Next come detailed explanations of Rust-oriented perspectives on topics like pattern matching, iterators, and smart pointers, with concrete examples and exercises--taking you from theory to practice.

The Rust Programming Language will also show you how to:
- Grasp important concepts unique to Rust, like ownership, borrowing, and
lifetimes
- Use Cargo, Rust’s built-in package manager, to build and maintain your code,
including downloading and building dependencies
- Effectively use Rust’s zero-cost abstractions and employ your own

You’ll learn to develop reliable code that’s speed and memory efficient, while avoiding the infamous and arcane programming pitfalls common at the systems level. When you need to dive down into lower-level control, this guide will show you how without taking on the customary risk of crashes or security holes and without requiring you to learn the fine points of a fickle toolchain.

You’ll also learn how to create command line programs, build single- and multithreaded web servers, and much more.

The Rust Programming Language fully embraces Rust’s potential to empower its users. This friendly and approachable guide will help you build not only your knowledge of Rust but also your ability to program with confidence in a wider variety of domains.

Its good and substantial from page one.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've got the book. I have installed RUST, written the "Hello World.rs" and compiled and run it...it works. Now I have installed CARGO. It just keeps an working.
The best part is, I am not out of chapter one and there are another 19 chapters. The book is SUBSTANTIAL.
So far its easy reading, sample code on every page and no academic fluffiness to be seen.
The online RUST documentation is great (very similar to book) but I can read the book in bed or out in sun and take a break from the screen.

I'm very satisfied with the book. unfortunately after two weeks the cover fell off... so I had to take a star away for that; very odd first book I've ever had that did that... i think I'll avoid no starch press in the future

Must Read Guide to Rust

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Anyone that aims to learn to code in Rust should read this book. It truly makes Rust approachable and significantly lowers the learning curve of Rust.

Many people claim Rust is hard to learn, I would disagree. If you read this book, Rust will be easier to learn and master than C/C++.

This book is also open source and you can find available for free online.

Great resource for learning Rust.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I've only just begun the process of learning Rust but this book has been great. I've been programming computers for more than 30 years and while this book has all the basics it's not boring. It moves just fast enough to keep me interested and slow enough for me to make sure I understand the concepts. Awesome!

This book is to Rust what K and R is to the C language. If you're only going to have one book on the Rust language, this is THE book to have.

The Gospel of Rust

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book should be owned by anyone attempting to learn Rust. The narrative of the book is concise, topical, and articulate. A large number of youtube videos covering Rust reference this book and give it an almost gospel status (perhaps deservedly).

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on June 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed the book a lot, even if I'm just a beginner in the language, it provided valuable knowledge in the language. If you want to learn Rust just as I did, this book is perfect for it, you'll need a lot of practice besides this book, don't expect to be an expert, but it does provides a lot of information and you can always come to the book when you encounter a problem and look for an example.

Totally recommended!

"The Book"

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on September 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

Mise à jour : n'achetez pas ce livre. Une nouvelle édition sort en août 2019. Elle couvrira Rust 2018.

Si vous cherchez un nouveau défi, le Rust peut être votre ami. Il pourrait vous permettre de vous passer de la combinaison C/C++.

Pour ce qui est de la forme, les auteurs de ce livre ont fait un travail remarquable pour mettre en valeur des éléments sans faire usage de couleurs. La mise en page est très bien réalisée.

Pour ce qui est du fond, ce livre couvre autant les mécanismes de bas niveau que les mécanismes de haut niveau. Bien sûr, il ne descend pas au niveau de l'assembleur.

Le site web du langage définit ce livre comme "The Book" et comme le document de référence officiel du langage.

Mise à jour 4/11/2019 : Rust est toujours aussi agréable mais il nécessite autant voire plus de rigueur que le C.

Le coin supérieur gauche du livre est légèrement corné. C'est probablement dû au fait que la poste ait envoyé mon colis au mauvais entrepôt. Le livre a donc passé un peu trop de temps dans le carton. Cela dit, le carton n'avait pas l'air de bien protéger le livre puisqu'il pouvait glisser dedans. J'aurais d'ailleurs préféré que la couverture soit un peu plus dure.

+ :
-Livre accessible
-Explications claires

- :
-La couverture aurait pu être un peu plus dure
-Le livre aurait pu être mieux protégé lors du transport

Ayant eu un souci de livraison, j'ai eu droit à un coupon. Malgré cela, j'ai essayé de faire en sorte que mon avis soit le plus objectif possible.
