To get the most out of this book

This book expects you to have a rudimentary understanding of Rust and doesn't cover the syntax. It doesn't expect you to be an expert; you won't be writing any macros or complicated traits, so even a Rust cheat sheet should be enough. The book is structured as a tutorial and is best worked through beginning to end.

The code for this book was tested with Rust version 1.57.0. Most of the tools will be installed automatically by rust-webpack-template.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
