Overview of this book

Rust is the ideal language for writing safe, correct code in a way that won't make you pull your hair out. This course will teach you how to build reusable Rust code so that you can stop copying and pasting code. Write code that can adapt to many different usages. You will reuse code by using advanced features such as traits, generics and macros. You will work with different forms of code reuse, loops, map, filter and fold to save time and resources. Achieve higher-level reuse without sacrificing runtime performance. Organize your code into modules and crates to publish them to crates.io. By the end of the course you will be able to avoid code duplication and write clean reusable code. The code bundle for this video course is available at - https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-Reusable-Code-with-Rust

Section 3
Associated Types versus Generics and Trait Inheritance
Using generics on traits may cause us to accidentally create multiple implementations. Associated type can guarantee that it's only implemented once. - Understand why generics on traits may cause multiple implementations - See how associated type solves this problem - Learn how trait inheritance can enforce more complex trait relationships
