I like how book builds upon one large project that includes generating Docker images, connecting to a database and building a full stack app in Rust. Well written! #RustLang #Postgresql

This book walks you through each step of building a web server, and is a good intro to the rust programming language. Coming from a nodejs background, this book made me realize I could start branching out to other backend stacks.

Rocket is one of the most full featured web frameworks for Rust. Due to the amount of features it offers, Rocket can be overwhelming to take on for someone looking at getting into Rust web development. This book does a fantastic job of guiding the reader throughout the many different concepts found in Rocket, helping to dispel and explain some of the magic found under the hood. The book covers areas that are vital for being able to build a functional web app, such as middleware, using fairings, DB connections using SQLx and asynchronous processing using tokio.If you're looking to get started with building web apps using Rust, this book is a great resource to gain an understanding of how to do so using Rocket.

Goods books (or any books really) on Rust web frameworks are few and far between. I haven't read the entire book but I did sit down and devote 3 hours or so to it and read through page 189 (of 420 pages). It's well written and straight forward. Literally anyone who has done any coding (from simple JS or PHP to complicated C++) should be able grasp the information presented in this book and probably start use the Rocket web framework for Rust within hours if they want to try it out (for hobby or for serious projects / work). I am so glad I had the opportunity the check this book out!

As always, a bit of contextRust can cover a wide number of cases, from system tools (even operating systems (redox) and virtual machines (firecracker from Amazon/AWS)) to webappsIt can do the same as java/go with more "fences" (e.g.: thread-safety by design) and/or performance (no GC as in java/go)Rocket is a mature web framework with more or less 5 ~ 6 years of existence, now developed/kept by the communityIt's on par with other popular web frameworks from other languagesAlso, it is based on Tokio - probably the most used/trusted framework for network applications (http, grpc, sockets, ...) in rustThe book starts with a quick introduction to rust which can be useful if you don't know rustIt slowly develops rust programming with the rocket frameworkIt also covers the usage of templates and webassembly which are part of any modern web applicationSome highlights:- covers rocket structure and lifecycle- explains how to use databases with rocket through the crate sqlx-cli (CRUD)- explains the usage of templating- discuss some best practices (e.g.: how to avoid Insecure Direct Object References)- WebAssembly- json handling- testingTo summarize, it is a good introduction to the usage of rocketThe only thing I wish I could be done in a different way is that some rust programming details like borrowing are not explained in the introduction to rust but instead diluted through the bookI think this could be part of the first chapter and for those who are already experienced with rust, could skip the introduction to rust chapter altogether

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
