Designing Your Web Application in Rust

We previously explored the syntax of Rust, enabling us to tackle memory management quirks and build data structures. However, as any experienced engineer will tell you, structuring code across multiple files and directories is an important aspect of building software.

Our program will be structured in a scalable way where we build and manage our own modules, which will be imported into other areas of the program and utilized. We will learn these concepts by building a to-do application spanning multiple files that create, edit, and delete to-do applications. ...
