Rust Programming in easy steps introduces all the features of the Rust programming language, using worked example programs.Rust is still an immature language and sees a major release every six years. Rust 2024 is expected to be released in February 2025, and is the version of the language that this book will deal with. The language differences are slight. Of greater concern is the library of “crates” that support more advanced features. Many of these are either not in place or not stable enough to be relied on. In particular, no one crate has emerged that provides a desktop GUI interface. Therefore, all the examples in this book will be for command-line, text-based programs.The book includes two full example programs taken from areas where Rust has seen significant use: web back-end and embedded development. The latter requires that the reader obtain an Arduino and a few electronic components. This optional project need not cost more than around £10.Rust Programming in easy steps is intended for experienced programmers and is not suitable for beginners.Covers Rust 2024, which is due for release in February 2025.

Covers the history of AI and new developments.

What is artificial intelligence? What problems does it solve? Should we fear its potential? In this highly accessible guide to the subject, Richard Urwin explains how AI came about and how it has developed over the years through the construction of ever more sophisticated computer programs. From primitive calculators and early robotics to stock market analytics and ChatGPT, readers can explore the history and far-reaching capabilities of this dynamic field and its potentially frightening possibilities. Includes: - The History of Artificial Intelligence- Data-mining and Statistics- Deep learning- Swarm Intelligence> By turns fascinating and scary, Artificial Intelligence will take the reader on an amazing journey of this field's world-changing potential.

Contains Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects suitable for anyone who wants to get started with AI programming.
