How to: technical indicators with Rust and Binance
In this tutorial, we will learn how to implement technical indicators with Rust using data from Binance. The aim of this tutorial is to be a fun exercise for people who are starting out with Rust and want to see a practical example of writing basic functions. First, we will implement algorithms for the following technical indicators: Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Bollinger Bands (BOLL), and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Then, we will download historical data from the Binance API and use that to apply our algorithms. We will also look…

How to scrape websites with Rust: basic example
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to scrape websites with Rust. This tutorial will give you a basic idea of how to get information from a website using Rust. We are just going to scrape a single web page. Following links on the page and dealing with javascript is beyond the scope of this tutorial. My GitHub repository containing the completed project can be found here: https://github.com/tmsdev82/rust-webscrape-tutorial.

Docker image for Rust backend: learn how to
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a Docker image for a Rust backend. We are going to write a small REST API program with the warp crate. Then we will write a Docker file to build a lean Docker image for it. Creating a Docker image for our applications enables us to more easily distribute and deploy our applications, with the certainty they will run as designed. Check out the full project on my GitHub: https://github.com/tmsdev82/rust-warp-docker-tutorial. Prerequisites To be able to follow along with the tutorial some of the following is useful: Rust installed Installation of Docker…
