Welcome

Thanks for purchasing the MEAP for Rust Design Patterns!

Rust is a trendy and much loved language, and it’s one of my personal favourites to work with. People love Rust for good reason: it has excellent tooling and it’s fun to work with. Getting started with Rust can be quite challenging, however, due to its high barrier to entry and steep learning curve.

Along with Code Like a Pro in Rust, I’ve written this book to help people get up to speed as quickly as possible with Rust. As cheesy as it might sound, I still get really excited about using Rust and want others to share in that excitement. I hope you have as much fun as I do working with Rust.

I spent a lot longer working on this book (and my other Rust book, too) than I originally planned, but I think the end result will be really helpful to a lot of people. I’ve had to trim a lot of content and boil the book down to its best parts, so I hope you find it light on fluff and heavy on nuggets of wisdom.

Please make use of the liveBook’s Discussion Forum to share your thoughts and feedback to help make this book even better for everyone to enjoy.
