ASYNC Rust - Unleashing the Power of Fearless Concurrency

"Already popular among programmers for its memory safety and speed, the Rust programming language is also valuable for asynchrony. This practical book shows you how asynchronous Rust can help you solve problems that require multitasking. You'll learn how to apply async programming to solve problems with an async approach. You will also dive deeper into async runtimes, implementing your own ways in which async runtimes handle incoming tasks. Authors Maxwell Flitton and Caroline Morton also show you how to implement the Tokio software library to help you with incoming traffic, communicate between threads with shared memory and channels, and design a range of complex solutions using actors. You'll also learn to perform unit and end-to-end tests on a Rust async system"--

About the author

Maxwell Flitton is a software engineer who works for the open source financial loss modeling foundation OasisLMF. In 2011, Maxwell achieved his Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from the University of Lincoln, UK and a degree in physics from the Open University with a postgraduate diploma in physics and engineering in medicine from UCL in London whilst working as a nurse at Charing Cross A&E. He's worked on numerous projects such as medical simulation software for the German government and supervising computational medicine students at Imperial College London. He also has experience in financial tech and Monolith AI. While building the medical simulation software Maxwell and Caroline had to build Rust async systems in the Kubernetes cluster to solve real time event solutions and caching mechanisms. Maxwell has written the Packt textbooks "Rust Web Programming" and "Speed Up Your Python with Rust".
