Getting Started

Welcome to Asynchronous Programming in Rust! If you're looking to start writing asynchronous Rust code, you've come to the right place. Whether you're building a web server, a database, or an operating system, this book will show you how to use Rust's asynchronous programming tools to get the most out of your hardware.

What This Book Covers

This book aims to be a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to using Rust's async language features and libraries, appropriate for beginners and old hands alike.

• The early chapters provide an introduction to async programming in general, and to Rust's particular take on it.

• The middle chapters discuss key utilities and control-flow tools you can use when writing async code, and describe best-practices for structuring libraries and applications to maximize performance and reusability.

• The last section of the book covers the broader async ecosystem, and provides a number of examples of how to accomplish common tasks.

With that out of the way, let's explore the exciting world of Asynchronous Programming in Rust!
