Key benefits

Know the concepts of macros and compiler plugins and how they help with more complex projects
Use Rust's standard library to build a reusable and easy-to-understand API
Hands-on example of how to package your Rust code into reusable crates and publish them on crates.io

Description

Rust is the ideal language for writing safe, correct code in a way that won't make you pull your hair out. This course will teach you how to build reusable Rust code so that you can stop copying and pasting code. Write code that can adapt to many different usages. You will reuse code by using advanced features such as traits, generics and macros. You will work with different forms of code reuse, loops, map, filter and fold to save time and resources. Achieve higher-level reuse without sacrificing runtime performance. Organize your code into modules and crates to publish them to crates.io. By the end of the course you will be able to avoid code duplication and write clean reusable code. The code bundle for this video course is available at - https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Building-Reusable-Code-with-Rust

Who is this book for?

This course will appeal to Rust developers who are already familiar with the language and want to learn how to build Rust libraries that are maintainable and reusable, and have an API that honors Rust conventions.
