Rust Programming in easy steps introduces all the features of the Rust programming language, using worked example programs.
Rust is still an immature language and sees a major release every six years. Rust 2024 was released in February 2025, and is the version of the language that this book will deal with. The language differences are slight. Of greater concern is the library of âcratesâ that support more advanced features. Many of these are either not in place or not stable enough to be relied on. In particular, no one crate has emerged that provides a desktop GUI interface. Therefore, all the examples in this book will be for command-line, text-based programs.
The book includes two full example programs taken from areas where Rust has seen significant use: web back-end and embedded development. The latter requires that the reader obtain an Arduino and a few electronic components. This optional project need not cost more than around £10.
Rust Programming in easy steps is intended for experienced programmers and is not suitable for beginners. It gives detailed information for Windows, but as the book is aimed at developers with experience of other languages, Linux and MacOS users should find the book useful but it won't be quite as streamlined as for a Windows user.
Covers Rust 2024, which was released in February 2025.
