Systems Programming for Analysts: A Practical Guide to Rust, C++, and Memory-Safe Performance
This book is designed for analysts and technical professionals who need to go beyond high-level scripting and into the core of machine-level efficiency. With a practical, no-fluff approach, it teaches how to use Rust and C++ to write fast, safe, and scalable systems tailored for analytical workflows.
Learn how to:

• Build low-level tools that outperform Python and R by orders of magnitude
• Choose between Rust and C++ depending on your system's requirements
• Leverage memory safety and concurrency for secure, high-performance computation
• Integrate systems code into analytics pipelines and custom data tooling
• Understand memory models, pointer logic, and how to eliminate runtime crashes
• Write clean, modular code that runs close to the metal—without sacrificing maintainability

Ideal for finance professionals, data engineers, and systems-focused analysts, this guide bridges the gap between domain expertise and modern systems programming. With real-world examples and a focus on application over theory, it equips readers with the technical edge to build tools that matter.
