Fearless Rust: Don't Panic

Master Rust, The Modern Systems Language Built for Safety, Speed, and ControlWhether you're an experienced C++ developer or new to systems programming, this book provides a thorough and practical introduction to Rust. It is a language that transforms the way we write safe, high-performance software. You will discover how Rust's ownership model guarantees memory safety without garbage collection, how borrowing and lifetimes eliminate data races at compile time, and how zero-cost abstractions enable expressive code with no performance trade-off. The book covers everything from core syntax to advanced topics like unsafe code and concurrency, guiding you through Rust's full capabilities. Throughout, you will see how familiar C++ concepts such as RAII, smart pointers, and deterministic destructors are adapted and enforced through Rust's type system and tooling. With exercises, in-depth explanations, and practical examples, this book not only teaches you Rust but also helps you learn how to think in Rust.Inside you'll find: A complete walkthrough of Rust's core principles and featuresIn-depth coverage of memory safety, lifetimes, and ownershipPractical examples of safe concurrency and error handlingExercise and small project examplesFinal chapters on Concurrency, lifetimes and, unsafe RustWrite safer code. Ship faster. Think differently. Rust is not just a tool-it's a new foundation.
