Overview of this book

Rust 2018, Rust's first major milestone since version 1.0, brings more advancement in the Rust language. The Rust Programming Cookbook is a practical guide to help you overcome challenges when writing Rust code. This Rust book covers recipes for configuring Rust for different environments and architectural designs, and provides solutions to practical problems. It will also take you through Rust's core concepts, enabling you to create efficient, high-performance applications that use features such as zero-cost abstractions and improved memory management. As you progress, you'll delve into more advanced topics, including channels and actors, for building scalable, production-grade applications, and even get to grips with error handling, macros, and modularization to write maintainable code. You will then learn how to overcome common roadblocks when using Rust for systems programming, IoT, web development, and network programming. Finally, you'll discover what Rust 2018 has to offer for embedded programmers. By the end of the book, you'll have learned how to build fast and safe applications and services using Rust.

Continuous integration with cargo

Automation is an important aspect of today's software engineering. Whether it is infrastructure as code or functions as a service, many things are expected to automatically work as expected. However, the notion of a central testing and deployment infrastructure based on certain rules is much older (called ALMApplication Lifecycle Management) and with modern tools, it is incredibly easy. cargo was built to support this stateless infrastructure with reasonable defaults and an easy interface to customize them.

In this recipe, we will take a look at how to build Rust applications using Microsoft's Azure DevOps platform as an example.
