Command-Line Rust: A Project-Based Primer for Writing Rust CLIs pdf

Ken Youens Clark works as a Data Engineer at The Critical Path Institute where he helps partners in industry, academia, and government find novel drug therapies for diseases ranging from cancer and tuberculosis to thousands of rare diseases. His career in bioinformatics began in 2001 when he joined a plant genomics project at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Lincoln Stein, a prominent author of books and modules in Perl and an early advocate for open software, data, and science. In 2014 Ken moved to Tucson, AZ, to work as a Senior Scientific Programmer at the University of Arizona where he completed a MS in Biosystems Engineering in 2019. While at UA, Ken enjoyed teaching programming and bioinformatics skills, and used some of those ideas in his first book, Tiny Python Projects (Manning, 2020), which uses a test-driven development approach to teaching Python.

Command-Line Rust: A Project-Based Primer for Writing Rust CLIs pdf by Ken Youens Clark

For several consecutive years, Rust has been voted "most loved programming language" in Stack Overflow's annual developer survey. This open source systems programming language is now used for everything from game engines and operating systems to browser components and virtual reality simulation engines. But Rust is also an incredibly complex language with a notoriously difficult learning curve.
Rather than focusing on the language as a whole, this guide teaches Rust using a single small, complete, focused program in each chapter. Author Ken Youens-Clark shows you how to start, write, and test each of these programs to create a finished product. You'll learn how to handle errors in Rust, read and write files, and use regular expressions, Rust types, structs, and more.
