I have purchased it and it's pretty good. Although it really seems to be geared more towards experienced systems programmers. The online book is much better for beginners, IMO.
- ice109 10y agoI don't agree. the O'Reilly book is much gentler and pedagogically sound. many things in the online book are discussed before being introduced. not so in the O'Reilly book.
- nitrogen 10y agoI find that I learn better and trust the resource more if earlier lessons have hooks for later topics. It helps my mind piece everything together. But to each their own.
- steveklabnik 10y agoIn this case, it wasn't so much "deliberate hooks" as it is "I took a lot of care to not do this, but then when pull requests came in to add things that were left out, sometimes they introduced forward references that we didn't realize at the time."
- nitrogen 10y agoMakes sense. I'll have to go through the rewritten parts again, as I'm having a heck of a time trying to pass the TcpStream object from Tokio into my actual service, as part of a personal learning exercise (https://github.com/mike-bourgeous/cliserver_rust/issues/6 https://github.com/mike-bourgeous/cliserver_rust/issues/6). I haven't broken down and asked online yet, partly out of sheer determination and partly because I'm in the middle of looking for a new place.
- AsyncAwait 10y agoThe online book is undergoing a rewrite at http://rust-lang.github.io/book/ http://rust-lang.github.io/book/ and will be published in print as well, it is unrelated to the book you linked, (but that book is also great).
