Creative Projects for Rust Programmers

By: Carlo Milanesi

Overview of this book

Rust is a community-built language that solves pain points present in many other languages, thus improving performance and safety. In this book, you will explore the latest features of Rust by building robust applications across different domains and platforms. The book gets you up and running with high-quality open source libraries and frameworks available in the Rust ecosystem that can help you to develop efficient applications with Rust. You'll learn how to build projects in domains such as data access, RESTful web services, web applications, 2D games for web and desktop, interpreters and compilers, emulators, and Linux Kernel modules. For each of these application types, you'll use frameworks such as Actix, Tera, Yew, Quicksilver, ggez, and nom. This book will not only help you to build on your knowledge of Rust but also help you to choose an appropriate framework for building your project. By the end of this Rust book, you will have learned how to build fast and safe applications with Rust and have the real-world experience you need to advance in your career.

Questions

  1. Is there an official printed book to learn the Rust language?
  2. How long was the longest primitive Rust integer in 2015, and how long was it at the end of 2018?
  3. Which are the four domain working groups at the end of 2018?
  4. What is the purpose of the Clippy utility?
  5. What is the purpose of the rustfix utility?
  6. Write a program that generates 10 pseudo-random f32 numbers between 100 and 400.
  7. Write a program that generates 10 pseudo-random i32 numbers between 100 and 400 (without truncating or rounding the numbers generated by the previous exercise).
  8. Write a program that creates a static vector containing all squared integers between 1 and 200.
  9. Write a program that emits a warning message and an info message, and then run it so that only the warning message appears.
  10. Try to parse a command-line argument that contains a value from 1 to 20, emitting an error message if the value is out of range. The short option should be -l, and the long option should be --level.
