Tell HN: My “Rust Web Development” book is released

#1
Hey folks!

Very proud to announce that my book "Rust Web Development" is now published by Manning: https://www.manning.com/books/rust-web-development.

It was a long process, over 2 years in total. The book is using warp as a web framework, but the whole book is pretty much framework agnostic.

If you did some basic Rust, or come from a different language and wonder what all the fuzz is about, grab the book and give it a read!

I am new to Rust. How is the book (or Rust?) agnostic to any particular framework? Do frameworks share lots of commonality, and/or are they just minimal in nature?

Also, even if the book is agnostic to frameworks, will it still help me learn other frameworks like actix?

Congrats on the launch… must be a great feeling after working on it for 2 years.

Consider me a noob though, so excuse my ignorant question…

Why Rust for webdev vs other languages, eg python, RoR, clojure, JS or PHP with Laravel?

What are the benefits? What’s the sales pitch ;)

Or is that explained in the book?

All explained in the book :)

Personally, the compiler and the type system had the biggest impact on both enjoying working in Rust, but also fearlessly jumping into new code bases!
