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.

The Name portion edit box and the Filter button to its right are for filtering the table below it, in a similar way as in the list project.

Then, there are two buttons—one for deleting data and one for adding data.

Lastly, there is the filtered table of the people. In this app, the initial state of the database is an empty list of people and so no HTML table is shown.

Let's create some people.

Click on the Add New Person push button. You will see the following window:

This is the page used to create a person and insert them into the database. The Id field is disabled because its value will be generated automatically. To insert...
