Key benefits

  • *Build a solid foundation in Rust while also mastering important network programming details
  • *Leverage the power of a number of available libraries to perform network operations in Rust
  • *Develop a fully functional web server to gain the skills you need, fast

Description

Rust is low-level enough to provide fine-grained control over memory while providing safety through compile-time validation. This makes it uniquely suitable for writing low-level networking applications. This book is divided into three main parts that will take you on an exciting journey of building a fully functional web server. The book starts with a solid introduction to Rust and essential networking concepts. This will lay a foundation for, and set the tone of, the entire book. In the second part, we will take an in-depth look at using Rust for networking software. From client-server networking using sockets to IPv4/v6, DNS, TCP, UDP, you will also learn about serializing and deserializing data using serde. The book shows how to communicate with REST servers over HTTP. The final part of the book discusses asynchronous network programming using the Tokio stack. Given the importance of security for modern systems, you will see how Rust supports common primitives such as TLS and public-key cryptography. After reading this book, you will be more than confident enough to use Rust to build effective networking software

Who is this book for?

This book is for software developers who want to write networking software with Rust. A basic familiarity with networking concepts is assumed. Beginner-level knowledge of Rust will help but is not necessary.

What you will learn

  • *Appreciate why networking is important in implementing distributed systems
  • *Write a non-asynchronous echo server over TCP that talks to a client over a network
  • *Parse JSON and binary data using parser combinators such as nom
  • *Write an HTTP client that talks to the server using reqwest
  • *Modify an existing Rust HTTTP server and add SSL to it
  • *Master asynchronous programming support in Rust
  • *Use external packages in a Rust project

Ce livre est étonnamment bon. On sent le travail de l'auteur dans la précision du vocabulaire, dans les exemples choisis.L'auteur prend le temps d'expliquer les bases des réseaux et de Rust. Mais pas que les bases, ça se complexifie, toujours avec des explications rigoureuses.Ensuite les exemples de code sont proches de ce qu'on voudrait réellement coder et sont bien expliqués.Les bonnes librairies (nommées crates pour Rust) sont présentées et utilisées dans les exemples (dont tokio).Mon seul bémol, qui n'a rien à voir avec le contenu du livre, est sur la qualité d'impression. C'est un livre probablement imprimé par Amazon directement après la commande et la qualité d'impression de la couverture est assez mauvaise. C'est lisible mais un peu flou pour les petits caractères. Vu le prix du livre c'est quand même dommage.

A lot of the problem with coding books comes from either being too concise or not concise enough. This book correctly achieves a perfect balance between the two. The book doesn't bog you down with easily Google-able details, instead it focuses more on a high level understanding of the way networking works (which is still very detailed).However, this book is not targeted at complete beginners. You should have a decent amount of programming experience with a systems language (preferably Rust).

This is a remarkably good book. Far better than I expected. The author must have put in a lot of work to create all these really clear code examples.

Just gives you an introduction to network programming with Rust and also introduces various available libraries in the domain, not for advanced learners.

The core of the book is 200 pages long , and the author doesn't go through the book explaining much of the code. He just sort of presents the code in a manner that says "this is just how it is." No real explanation as to why. I kept thinking i got a pre-release copy , the book feels unfinished, like he meant to go back and flesh out more of the explanations , but didn't. You'll have to do ALOT of research while reading this book.

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
