The book "Code Like a Pro in Rust" by Brenden Matthews is a practical guide for developers who want to write Rust professionally — not just "code that works." The author emphasizes an engineering approach: structured code, safety, readability, and performance.
This book is intended for those already familiar with Rust basics who want to move to the next level — building mature, maintainable, and scalable applications. Matthews teaches not only syntax but also principles of design, module structure, efficient dependency management, error handling, and test writing. Every chapter is filled with hands-on practices and techniques aligned with industry expectations.

What Makes This Book Stand Out?
- Idiomatic Rust. The author explains how to write code that fits community standards and meets the expectations of experienced Rust developers.
- Focus on Architecture. The book teaches how to build modules, packages, and libraries with clear boundaries and interaction logic.
- Engineering Approach. Special attention is paid to code quality, unit testing, error handling, and documentation.
- Advanced Techniques. Matthews covers ownership, lifetimes, async, generics — all with practical application in mind.
- Real-World Scenarios. The book discusses patterns and solutions applicable to web development, CLI tools, and systems programming.
- Tooling Transparency. It explains how to work with Cargo, Crates.io, documentation, and CI/CD within the Rust ecosystem.

FAQ for "Code Like a Pro in Rust"
Do I need to be an expert in Rust to read this book?
No. It’s intended for developers who already know the basics of Rust and aim to reach a more professional level. The author does not focus on explaining fundamental concepts but instead concentrates on practical code maturity.
Are real-world projects covered?
Yes. The book contains chapters where you build projects step-by-step: console utilities, network applications, and libraries. For each case, the author explains the architecture, design choices, and how to maintain the code long-term.
Does the book cover async/await and concurrency?
Yes. It includes sections on asynchronous programming, working with tokio and async-std, and patterns for concurrent data access — all explained
with a focus on resilience, readability, and predictability.
Does the book explain how to work with the Rust ecosystem?
Yes. The author shows how to use Cargo, prepare packages for publishing on Crates.io, use standard tools like clippy and rustfmt, write documentation,
and integrate tests into CI pipelines.
Is this book useful for interview preparation?
Yes. Although the book’s main goal isn’t interview preparation, many covered topics (error handling, architecture, testing, async) match what is typically asked in middle/senior Rust developer interviews.
