Rust in action
by Tim McNamara
Rust in action is probably one of our favourite books to learn Rust. It has been in the works for a good number of years and it's finally ready for the press. The reason why we enjoyed this book so much is that it takes a very practical stance. Rust concepts are taught by building interesting projects such as your own floating-point number implementation, a CPU emulator, a custom file format, a key-value store database, etc. With this book, you won't be learning only about the Rust programming language, but also an additional number of concepts and ideas that are useful for every software engineer.
