Obscure messages, pushy corporate reps who want to buy his house, and the beginnings of a new relationship are pulling him in too many directions. And, after the unthinkable happens, and Sal thinks he's found the one person with all the answers, he learns that there's always another side of the story. Will Sal get what he's looking for, or will he lose everything at the hands of those he thought he could trust?

Key FeaturesGet started with the language to build scalable and high performance applicationsThis book will help C#/C++ developers gain better performance and memory managementDiscover the power of Rust when developing concurrent applications for large and scalable softwareBook DescriptionRust is a highly concurrent and high performance language that focuses on safety and speed, memory management, and writing clean code. It also guarantees thread safety, and its aim is to improve the performance of existing applications. Its potential is shown by the fact that it has been backed by Mozilla to solve the critical problem of concurrency.Learning Rust will teach you to build concurrent, fast, and robust applications. From learning the basic syntax to writing complex functions, this book will is your one stop guide to get up to speed with the fundamentals of Rust programming. We will cover the essentials of the language, including variables, procedures, output, compiling, installing, and memory handling.You will learn how to write object-oriented code, work with generics, conduct pattern matching, and build macros. You will get to know how to communicate with users and other services, as well as getting to grips with generics, scoping, and more advanced conditions. You will also discover how to extend the compilation unit in Rust.By the end of this book, you will be able to create a complex application in Rust to move forward with.What you will learnSet up Rust for Windows, Linux, and OS XWrite effective code using RustExpand your Rust applications using librariesInterface existing non-Rust libraries with your Rust applicationsUse the standard library within your applicationsUnderstand memory management within Rust and speed efficiency when passing variablesCreate more complex data typesStudy concurrency in Rust with multi-threaded applications and sync threading techniques to improve the performance of an application problemAbout the AuthorPaul Johnson has been writing software since the early 1980s on machines ranging from the ZX81 and servers to his trusty Mac, and has used more languages than he can remember.
