Programming with Types (eBook, ePUB)

Examples in TypeScript

Beschreibung

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. 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++. About the author Vlad Riscutia is a principal software engineer at Microsoft. He has headed up several major software projects and mentors up-and-coming software engineers.

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 types Audience Readers 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 technology As 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. Vlad Riscutia is a principal software engineer at Microsoft with over 10 years of experience in the software field. He has headed up several major software projects and mentored many up-and-coming software engineers.
