About this Item

Neuware - Type-related failures are common and can be very costly. Famously, in 1999, NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter burned up in the atmosphere because of an error that could have easily been prevented with typing. By taking advantage of the strong type systems available in most modern programming languages, you can eliminate whole classes of errors. Programming with Types teaches you type system techniques for writing software that's safe, correct, easy to test and maintain, and that practically documents itself. Master these techniques, and you may even help prevent an interstellar catastrophe!Key features- Designing functions that don't return values - An introduction to type systems and their benefits - Encoding text- Building data structures with arrays and references - Type composition - Function types - Type safety - Object-oriented programming with typesAudienceReaders need basic high school math skills as well as some programming experience in a mainstream programming language like Java, JavaScript, C#, or C++.About the technologyAs software grows in complexity, it's essential to adopt coding tools and strategies that enforce safety and correctness. A type system governs what types of data are allowable, requiring your code to accurately store, represent, and use its internal data. Seller Inventory # 9781617296413

About this title

Synopsis:

Summary

Programming with Types teaches you to design safe, resilient, correct software that’s easy to maintain and understand by taking advantage of the power of strong type systems. Designed to provide practical, instantly useful techniques for working developers, this clearly written tutorial introduces you to using type systems to support everyday programming tasks.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the technology

Common bugs often result from mismatched data types. By precisely naming and controlling which data are allowable in a calculation, a strong type system can eliminate whole classes of errors and ensure data integrity throughout an application. As a developer, skillfully using types in your everyday practice leads to better code and saves time tracking down tricky data-related errors.

About the book

Programming with Types teaches type-based techniques for writing software that’s safe, correct, easy to maintain, and practically self-documenting. Designed for working developers, this clearly written tutorial sticks with the practical benefits of type systems for everyday programming tasks. Following real-world examples coded in TypeScript, you’ll build your skills from primitive types up to more-advanced concepts like functors and monads.

What's inside

Building data structures with primitive types, arrays, and references
How types affect functions, inheritance, and composition
Object-oriented programming with types
Applying generics and higher-kinded types

About the reader

You’ll need experience with a mainstream programming language like TypeScript, Java, JavaScript, C#, or C++.
