Rust In Practice, Third Edition
Concurrency, Memory Safety, GPU Computing, Linux Kernels, and Real-World Systems using Rust 1.85
This book is 100% completeLast updated on 2026-06-08
This third edition covers Rust 1.85 and the Rust 2024 Edition in full. The new chapters on concurrency, the 2024 edition migration, GPU computing, Go integration, and Linux kernel programming show where the Rust community has moved since the second edition, and where systems programming as a discipline is heading. You might be writing your first Rust function or your hundredth production service, but I hope this book makes the language feel less like a puzzle and more like a tool you are already familiar with. That was the only goal I had when I wrote it.

About the Book
Whether you're just starting out or a fully-fledged Rust pro, this third Edition is a goldmine of knowledge about Rust. This book has been updated with Rust 1.85 and Rust 2024 Edition, and it takes you on a really structured learning path to write production-grade systems, async services, GPU compute kernels, Linux kernel modules, and Go-integrated libraries.
The book is built around a single, progressive application, and every chapter adds a functional layer to a real Linux system-metrics tool. The knowledge you gain from this book, is working and evolving codes that you can study, extend, and own. You'll get the hang of ownership and borrowing, handle the borrow checker, build concurrent and async programs with Tokio, manage memory without a garbage collector, and use Rust in domains that were once reserved exclusively for C and C++.
Whatever stage you're at, whether you're just starting out and writing your first function or you're a seasoned engineer migrating a critical service to Rust, this strong practically focussed book has got you covered.
Key Learnings
- Dive in-depth into ownership model and eliminate memory bugs at compile time.
- Build async, concurrent programs using Tokio without data races or deadlocks.
- Design production-grade error types with ‘thiserror’ and ‘anyhow’ crates.
- Write GPU compute kernels and monitor GPU metrics.
- Integrate Rust libraries into existing Go applications via application binary interfaces.
- Write a loadable Linux kernel module entirely.
- Manage heap memory using Box, Rc, Arc, and smart pointer types.
- Leverage Rust 2024 Edition's new safety rules and migration workflow.
- Make use of Cargo workspaces, features, and optional dependencies to structure projects.

About the Author
GitforGits | Asian Publishing House
We are the engineer’s publisher, the coder’s mentor, and the content alchemist—meticulously turning dense tech into practical gold. With a growing library of 100+ titles, we don’t just develop technical books, rather we build roadmaps for professionals across Python, MySQL, DevOps, Rust, AI, Kotlin, Arduino, Golang and everything around the massive IT ecosystem. Every chapter, every script, every project is a tool in the hands of developers who want to get things done.
Where others summarize, we construct step-by-step learning blueprints, cutting through clutter, banning the fluff, and ensuring every paragraph delivers hands-on value. Our audience isn’t learning from scratch—they’re leveling up with purpose, and we stand by them with code-first content, consistent project workflows, and a zero-redundancy approach.
