In Chapter 16, we’ll walk through different models of concurrent programming |
and talk about how Rust helps you to program in multiple threads fearlessly. |
Chapter 17 looks at how Rust idioms compare to object-oriented programming |
principles you might be familiar with. |
Chapter 18 is a reference on patterns and pattern matching, which are powerful |
ways of expressing ideas throughout Rust programs. Chapter 19 contains a |
smorgasbord of advanced topics of interest, including unsafe Rust, macros, and |
more about lifetimes, traits, types, functions, and closures. |
In Chapter 20, we’ll complete a project in which we’ll implement a low-level |
multithreaded web server! |
Finally, some appendices contain useful information about the language in a |
more reference-like format. Appendix A covers Rust’s keywords, Appendix B |
covers Rust’s operators and symbols, Appendix C covers derivable traits |
provided by the standard library, Appendix D covers some useful development |
tools, and Appendix E explains Rust editions. In Appendix F, you can find |
translations of the book, and in Appendix G we’ll cover how Rust is made and |
what nightly Rust is. |
There is no wrong way to read this book: if you want to skip ahead, go for it! |
You might have to jump back to earlier chapters if you experience any |
confusion. But do whatever works for you. |
An important part of the process of learning Rust is learning how to read the |
error messages the compiler displays: these will guide you toward working code. |
As such, we’ll provide many examples that don’t compile along with the error |
message the compiler will show you in each situation. Know that if you enter |
and run a random example, it may not compile! Make sure you read the |
surrounding text to see whether the example you’re trying to run is meant to |
error. Ferris will also help you distinguish code that isn’t meant to work: |
In most situations, we’ll lead you to the correct version of any code that |
doesn’t compile. |
