To get the most out of this book

You will need to know some basic concepts around HTML and CSS. You will also need to have some familiarity with JavaScript. However, this is just for displaying the data to the user. If you are reading this book to just build purely backend API servers then this is not needed.

Some basic understanding of web development and coding in another language is also desired as this book does not cover programming basics like functions, loops, and so on. Instead, this book focuses on the quirks that Rust introduces, which you need to understand to code like you would in other languages.

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

After reading this book, you will be able to build fully functioning web applications that can be deployed without having to lean too heavily on advanced Rust concepts. However, this is just a solid foundation. It is advised that you improve your Rust web programming ability by reading up on more advanced Rust concepts, which will enable you to solve more complex problems.
