The Rust Programming Language: 2nd Edition

"The Rust Programming Language has always been, and continues to be, the first place I point anyone looking to learn Rust. It's referred to simply as "The Book", and with good reason -- it's comprehensive and elaborate, yet friendly and thoughtful, and serves as a guide not only to the language itself, but to the principles and mental models that Rust encourages its users to adopt. The 2nd edition is a reflection of the ongoing love for the book in the community, and ensures that it will remain a solid introduction to the best Rust has to offer for years to come." -Jon Gjengset, author of Rust for Rustaceans "The Rust Programming Language, 2nd Edition has been improved, refined, and still remains *the book* to get started with learning Rust. Whether an experienced or a new Rustacean it's an invaluable resource on how Rust works." -Michael Gattozzi, Senior Software Engineer at Fastly "The Rust Programming Language, 2nd Edition, is a great resource for mastering Rust's fundamentals. Rust is a language that rewards a deep understanding of its features, from ownership rules to pattern matching, and this book is an excellent tool to achieve that. The project chapters are a particularly clever way to apply the material to real world programs, and the specific projects in them are well-chosen to avoid toy problems without being overwhelming. If you're thinking about seriously learning Rust, this book is for you." -Adam Vartanian, Engineering Manager at Cord "From a person who read the first edition front to back, the second edition of The Rust Programming Language met and exceeded my expectations! It's well-written and formatted to help introduce the reader to all the concepts of Rust. . . . this edition won't disappoint and is an excellent addition to a programmer's personal library." -Jared Wolff, Owner, Circuit Dojo LLC
