Learn to write servers and network clients using Rust’s low-level socket classes with this guide About This Book ? Build a solid foundation in Rust while also mastering important network programming details ? Leverage the power of a number of available libraries to perform network operations in Rust ? Develop a fully functional web server to gain the skills you need, fast Who This Book Is For This book is for software developers who want to write networking software with Rust. A basic familiarity with networking concepts is assumed. Beginner-level knowledge of Rust will help but is not necessary. What You Will Learn ? Appreciate why networking is important in implementing distributed systems ? Write a non-asynchronous echo server over TCP that talks to a client over a network ? Parse JSON and binary data using parser combinators such as nom ? Write an HTTP client that talks to the server using reqwest ? Modify an existing Rust HTTTP server and add SSL to it ? Master asynchronous programming support in Rust ? Use external packages in a Rust project In Detail Rust is low-level enough to provide fine-grained control over memory while providing safety through compile-time validation. This makes it uniquely suitable for writing low-level networking applications. This book is divided into three main parts that will take you on an exciting journey of building a fully functional web server. The book starts with a solid introduction to Rust and essential networking concepts. This will lay a foundation for, and set the tone of, the entire book. In the second part, we will take an in-depth look at using Rust for networking software. From client-server networking using sockets to IPv4/v6, DNS, TCP, UDP, you will also learn about serializing and deserializing data using serde. The book shows how to communicate with REST servers over HTTP. The final part of the book discusses asynchronous network programming using the Tokio stack. Given the importance of security for modern systems, you will see how Rust supports common primitives such as TLS and public-key cryptography. After reading this book, you will be more than confident enough to use Rust to build effective networking software Style and approach This book will get you started with building networking software in Rust by taking you through all the essential concepts.

Learn how to build high-performing enterprise applications using Java EE powered by Angular at the frontend About This Book ? Leverage Java EE 8 features to build robust back end for your enterprise applications ? Use Angular to build a single page frontend and combine it with the Java EE backend ? Practical guide filled with ample real-world examples Who This Book Is For This book is for Java EE developers who would like to build modern enterprise web applications using Angular. No prior knowledge of Angular is expected. What You Will Learn ? Write CDI-based code in Java EE 8 applications ? Build an understanding of Microservices and what they mean in Java EE context ? Use Docker to build and run a microservice application ? Use configuration options to work effectively with JSON documents ? Understand asynchronous task handling and writing REST API clients ? Explore the fundamentals of TypeScript, which sets the foundation for working on Angular projects ? Use Angular CLI to add and manage new features ? Use JSON Web tokens to secure Angular applications against malicious attacks In Detail The demand for modern and high performing web enterprise applications is growing rapidly. No more is a basic HTML front-end enough to meet customer demands. This book will be your one stop guide to build outstanding enterprise web applications with Java EE and Angular. It will teach you how to harness the power of Java EE to build sturdy back ends while applying Angular on the front end. Your journey to building excellent web enterprise applications starts here! The book starts with a brief introduction to the fundamentals of Java EE and all the new APIs offered in the latest release. Armed with the knowledge of Java EE 8, you will go over what it’s like to build an end to end application, configure database connection for JPA, and build scalable microservice using RESTful APIs running in docker containers. Taking advantage of Payara Micro capabilities, you will build an Issue Management System, which will have various features exposed as services using Java EE backend. With a detailed coverage of Angular fundamentals, the book will expand the Issue Management System by building a modern single page application frontend. Moving forward you will learn to fit both the pieces together i.e. the frontend Angular application with the backend java EE microservices. As each unit in a microservice promotes high cohesion, you will learn different ways in which independent units can be tested efficiently. Finishing off with concepts on securing your enterprise applications, this book is a hands on guide to building Modern Web Applications.
