WaterUI Tutorial Book

Welcome to the complete guide for building cross-platform applications with WaterUI! This book will take you from a complete beginner to an advanced WaterUI developer, capable of building sophisticated applications that run on desktop, web, mobile, and embedded platforms.

What is WaterUI?

WaterUI is a modern, declarative UI framework for Rust that enables you to build applications using a single codebase for multiple platforms. It combines the safety and performance of Rust with an intuitive, reactive programming model inspired by SwiftUI and React.

Key Features

• 🚀 Cross-Platform: Write once, deploy everywhere - desktop, web, mobile, embedded
• 🦀 Type-Safe: Leverage Rust's powerful type system for compile-time correctness
• ⚡ Reactive: Automatic UI updates when data changes
• 📝 Declarative: Describe what your UI should look like, not how to build it

Prerequisites

Before starting this book, you should have:

• Basic Rust Knowledge: Understanding of ownership, borrowing, traits, and generics
• Programming Experience: Familiarity with basic programming concepts
• Command Line Comfort: Ability to use terminal/command prompt

If you're new to Rust, we recommend reading The Rust Programming Language first.
