Summary

Type-Driven Development with Idris, written by the creator of Idris, teaches you how to improve the performance and accuracy of your programs by taking advantage of a state-of-the-art type system. This book teaches you with Idris, a language designed to support type-driven development.

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

About the Technology

Stop fighting type errors! Type-driven development is an approach to coding that embraces types as the foundation of your code - essentially as built-in documentation your compiler can use to check data relationships and other assumptions. With this approach, you can define specifications early in development and write code that's easy to maintain, test, and extend. Idris is a Haskell-like language with first-class, dependent types that's perfect for learning type-driven programming techniques you can apply in any codebase.

About the Book

Type-Driven Development with Idris teaches you how to improve the performance and accuracy of your code by taking advantage of a state-of-the-art type system. In this book, you'll learn type-driven development of real-world software, as well as how to handle side effects, interaction, state, and concurrency. By the end, you'll be able to develop robust and verified software in Idris and apply type-driven development methods to other languages.

What's Inside

Understanding dependent types
Types as first-class language constructs
Types as a guide to program construction
Expressing relationships between data

About the Reader

Written for programmers with knowledge of functional programming concepts.

Store Description

Pulpfiction Books is one of Western Canada's largest independent bookstores. We maintain a basic stock of approximately 100,000 titles in three different Vancouver neighborhood locations and most days see several hundred new books added to the shelves. In addition to full runs of reading copies by most major science fiction, fantasy, and mystery authors, we carry a wide assortment of contemporary fiction, literature, books on art, architecture, cultural studies, philosophy, science, music, travel writing, cookbooks, poetry, drama, and most other major subject fields. We travel regularly throughout North America, sourcing rare and hard-to-find titles. We buy books every day. No appointment is ever required to sell books to us. While the bulk of our purchases consists of recent trade and mass market fiction and nonfiction, we are always interested in purchasing antiquarian stock, particularly in the visual arts, architecture, and Northwest Coast art and literature. Our shop website, www.pfbvan.ca, gives more details about how we make our buying decisions.
