Practical Rust Web Projects - Shing Lyu

Practical Rust Web Projects by Shing Lyu is a hands‑on guide that shows how to build modern, efficient, and secure web applications using Rust. Published by Packt in 2023, the book is designed for developers who want to move beyond theory and learn Rust through real projects that demonstrate its unique strengths in performance, safety, and concurrency.

Lyu begins with the essentials of Rust for web development, introducing frameworks, libraries, and tools that make building web applications straightforward. Readers are then guided through practical projects such as creating RESTful APIs, building dynamic websites, handling authentication, and integrating databases. Each project is explained step by step, with code samples and detailed reasoning that highlight how Rust’s memory safety and concurrency model provide advantages over traditional web development languages. The book also explores deployment strategies, testing, and best practices for writing clean, maintainable code in a production environment.
