This is the code repository for Network Programming with Rust [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the video course from start to finish.
Rust is low-level enough to provide fine-grained control over memory while providing safety through compile-time validation. This makes it uniquely suitable for writing low-level networking applications.
This course is divided into three main parts that will take you on an exciting journey of building a fully functional web server. Given the importance of security for modern systems, you will see how Rust supports common primitives such as TLS and public-key cryptography.
This course will get you started with building networking software in Rust by taking you through all the essential concepts. After watching this course, you will be more than confident enough to use Rust to build effective networking software
- Appreciate why networking is important in implementing distributed systems
- Write a non-asynchronous echo server over TCP
- Parse JSON and binary data using parser combinators such as nom
- Write an HTTP client that talks to the server using reqwest
- Modify an existing Rust HTTTP server and add SSL to it
- Master asynchronous programming support in Rust
- Use external packages in a Rust project
To fully benefit from the coverage included in this course, you will need:
This course is for software developers who want to write networking software with Rust. A basic familiarity with networking concepts is assumed. Beginner-level knowledge of Rust will help but is not necessary.
This course has the following software requirements:
Any standard Linux or OSX, Rust Compiler, Rust standard library
