Section 1:Setting Up the Web App Structure

Rust is a memory safe programming language. However, new developers can feel intimidated when picking up Rust. This does not help when Rust is described as a systems language, as if this tag instantly disqualifies Rust for web development.

However, we have to remember that Rust is memory safe. If we, as experienced web developers in other memory safe languages, understand the quirks of Rust such as borrow checking and lifetimes, we can code in Rust in a productive way. If we get to grips with package management (known as crates) and modules, there is nothing stopping us from building structured and safe applications in Rust in a fast paced manner.

This section gets the experienced web developer up and running with the basics of Rust and covers concepts that will enable you to structure a web app.
