About

Rust Recipes

Read full description

A reference of everyday Rust, from strings and collections to ownership and borrowing, traits, error handling with Result and safe concurrency. Every example comes with an explanation, and most of them run. • 24 sections: simple types, arrays and collections, structs and enums, traits and generics, functions and closures, error handling, regular expressions, threading, files, serialization, algorithms, patterns. • Run in the app: the example really executes and the output appears under the code. Needs an internet connection. • What changed in new versions: 17 sections from Rust 1.26 to Rust 2024, with "before" and "after" code side by side. • Keyword and function reference: 270 articles, fully open with no daily counter. • SQL alongside: over 200 queries against a live practice database - JOIN, GROUP BY, subqueries, data types. • Edit examples and add your own - they stay in the app and are always at hand. • Search runs over the code itself, not just the titles: remember a fragment and you will find the example. • Everything except running works offline. No account needed. WHAT THE FREE VERSION INCLUDES 12 runs and 12 edits a day - the counter resets every morning. The keyword reference is open without limits. Up to 5 examples of your own. Copying in the free app is blocked after five attempts. The full version opens every example, removes the daily limits and raises running to 30 launches a day. One purchase, no subscription. Made by a developer for developers. In development since 2015.

Hey fellow devs, Ever had a brilliant code idea while stuck in traffic? Or spotted a bug in your project during your morning coffee run? Yeah, me too. That's why I built CodeReader. Born from a coding itch (and a broken leg), CodeReader isn't just another GitHub client. It's the tool I wished I had when I couldn't reach my laptop. What's in it for you? 1. Capture ideas on the fly: Jot down those "aha!" moments before they vanish. No more napkin scribbles or forgotten strokes of genius. 2. Read code comfortably on your phone: Customize the display to your liking. Because squinting at tiny code on a small screen sucks. 3. Multi-language support: Whether you're into Python, Java, Rust, or that niche language you're tinkering with - we've got you covered. Why bother? - For when inspiration strikes at odd hours - To make use of those "in-between" moments - For quick code reviews without lugging around your laptop Look, I'm not going to claim CodeReader will revolutionize your life or make you the next tech billionaire. It's simply a tool that might make your coding life a bit easier and more flexible. Want to give it a shot? Grab CodeReader and see if it fits into your workflow. If it doesn't, no hard feelings - I'd love to hear how we could make it better for you. Happy coding! CodeReader: Your Pocket Coding Companion
