eBook Description:

Rust Web Programming: Adopt the Rust programming language by learning how to build fully functional web applications and services and address challenges relating to safety and performance

Are safety and high performance a big concern for you while developing web applications?

While most programming languages have a safety or speed trade-off, Rust provides memory safety without using a garbage collector. This means that with its low memory footprint, you can build high-performance and secure web apps with relative ease.

This Rust Web Programming book will take you through each stage of the web development process, showing you how to combine Rust and modern web development principles to build supercharged web apps.

You’ll start with an introduction to Rust and understand how to avoid common pitfalls when migrating from traditional dynamic programming languages. The book will show you how to structure Rust code for a project that spans multiple pages and modules. Next, you’ll explore the Actix Web framework and get a basic web server up and running. As you advance, you’ll learn how to process JSON requests and display data from the web app via HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You’ll also be able to persist data and create RESTful services in Rust. Later, you’ll build an automated deployment process for the app on an AWS EC2 instance and Docker Hub. Finally, you’ll play around with some popular web frameworks in Rust and compare them.
