Explore the support Rust offers for creating Functional Applications in Rust, learn about various design patterns, implementing concurrency, metaprogramming etc. in the process.

Key Features

Learn current state-of-the-art Functional techniques in Rust.
Modularize your applications and make them highly reusable and testable using functional design patterns.
Get familiar with complex concepts such as metaprogramming, concurrency, and immutability

Book Description

Functional programming allows developers to divide programs into smaller, reusable components that ease the creation, testing, and maintenance of software as a whole. Combined with the power of RUST, you can develop robust and scalable applications that fulfill modern day software requirements. This book will help you discover all the RUST features that can be applied to build software in a functional way.

We begin with a brief comparison of functional and object-oriented approach to different problems and patterns. We then quickly look at patterns of control flow, data the abstractions of these unique to functional programming. The next part covers how to create functional apps in Rust; mutability and ownership which are exclusive to Rust are also discussed. Pure functions are examined next and we understand closures, the various types of closures and currying. We also look at implementing concurrency through functional design principles and metaprogramming using macros. Before wrapping up we look at best practices for debugging and optimization.

By the end of the book, you will be familiar with the functional approach of programming and will be able to use these techniques on a daily basis.

What you will learn

Support offered by Rust for the use of basic Functional Programming principles.
Use Functional Programming to handle concurrency with safety and elegance.
Read and interpret complex type signatures for types and functions.
Implement powerful abstractions using meta programming in Rust.
Create quality code formulaically using functional design patterns of Rust.
Familiarize with Rust's complex ownership mechanisms, particularly in regards to mutability.

Who This Book Is For

The reader should be fairly proficient in Rust already, showing an ability to read and understand Rust code. The reader has an interest in further improving their coding abilities in Rust. "Functional Programming in RUST" will now inform these readers of slightly more advanced techniques to improve their skillset.

About the Author

Andrew Johnson is an avid supporter of all things functional. Rust is currently his favorite language and he will not hesitate to lecture anyone about its benefits. Andrew is also interested in compiler design, with a focus on making languages simultaneously more efficient to run, but also easier to program.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
