Summary
Rust in Action is a hands-on guide to systems programming with Rust. Written for inquisitive programmers, it presents real-world use cases that go far beyond syntax and structure.
Summary
Rust in Action introduces the Rust programming language by exploring numerous systems programming concepts and techniques. You'll be learning Rust by delving into how computers work under the hood. You'll find yourself playing with persistent storage, memory, networking and even tinkering with CPU instructions. The book takes you through using Rust to extend other applications and teaches you tricks to write blindingly fast code. You'll also discover parallel and concurrent programming. Filled to the brim with real-life use cases and scenarios, you'll go beyond the Rust syntax and see what Rust has to offer in real-world use cases.
About the technology
Rust is the perfect language for systems programming. It delivers the low-level power of C along with rock-solid safety features that let you code fearlessly. Ideal for applications requiring concurrency, Rust programs are compact, readable, and blazingly fast. Best of all, Rust’s famously smart compiler helps you avoid even subtle coding errors.
About the book
Rust in Action is a hands-on guide to systems programming with Rust. Written for inquisitive programmers, it presents real-world use cases that go far beyond syntax and structure. You’ll explore Rust implementations for file manipulation, networking, and kernel-level programming and discover awesome techniques for parallelism and concurrency. Along the way, you’ll master Rust’s unique borrow checker model for memory management without a garbage collector.

Great content, but issues with audiobook.
The reader hugely overuses "this" when reading the names of traits, crates etc and it is sometimes ambiguous and actually changes or removes the meaning of the sentence. Bizarrely though, there are some scenarios where he reads the entire path of code snippets in the git repo when it's obvious from where you are in the book. I think a better job could have been done deciding on when to default to 'this' in reference to a snippet. There are other issues, but of course reading a technical book out loud is a difficult thing to achieve.
The book could go into more depth with lifetimes, but otherwise the content was great and the projects very interesting.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
