No one knows whether reading a technical book is going to be worth the effort. These books can be expensive, dull, and poorly written. Even worse, there’s a good chance that you won’t learn anything. Luckily, this book is written by someone who understands that.
This book’s first aim is to teach you Rust. Rust in Action presents large, working projects to promote your learning. Over the course of the book, you’ll write a database, a CPU emulator, an operating system kernel, and several other interesting projects. You’ll even dabble with generative art. Each project is designed to enable you to explore the Rust programming language at your own pace. For those readers who know little Rust, there are many opportunities to expand the projects in whatever direction you choose.
