There are many Rust books, but these are my favourites—and I think you’ll like them too. Here are my reviews of what I think are the truly essential Rust books available today.
That mockingbird won't sing: a mock API server in Rust
Faking it till you make it isn’t always the best strategy in life, but it can be a useful one in software engineering. Here’s an easy way to create a local HTTP server for testing Rust API clients.
A hard rain's a-gonna fall: parsing JSON in Rust
Everybody’s talking JSON at me, but I don’t hear a word they’re saying. Instead, I need to deserialize that data into a Rust value I can use. Luckily, there’s a crate for that.

Choosing the right Rust training provider can be a tricky business. Here’s a shortlist of the five most trusted Rust trainers, with a breakdown of each offering and a handy comparison chart.
Elephants for breakfast: testing the untestable in Rust
How do you test functions that can’t be tested? That’s easy: you don’t! Instead, you use the magic function technique to break down the elephants—excuse me, functions—into smaller bites that you can test.
Here comes the sun: building a weather client in Rust
Whither the weather? In another extract from the not-yet-award-winning book The Secrets of Rust: Tools, let’s write a simple API client that can tell us if it’s sweater or swimsuit season.
For your eyes only: user-friendly errors in Rust
Durable software not only handles errors, it presents them to users in a helpful and meaningful way. Let’s put the finishing touches to our line-counting program by completing the user interface.
Things fall apart: handling errors in Rust programs
The night is dark and full of errors—and durable Rust software is not only ready for them, but handles them sensibly. Let’s see how, by returning to our line-counter project.

Rust’s Result and Option types make elegant APIs
The night is dark and full of errors, so how should we handle these gracefully and safely in our Rust programs? Let’s introduce two of every Rust programmer’s favourite types: Option and Result.
Writing slower Go programs: why readability beats speed
Optimizing Golang code for performance is almost certainly a waste of your time, for several reasons: performance doesn’t matter, Go is fast, and readability is more important than speed. You can buy a faster computer, but you can’t buy a faster brain.
