Key benefits

Explore the features of the V programming language step by step with this beginner's guide

Gain strong foundational knowledge of core programming concepts such as modules, functions, and structs

Learn how to write super-fast programs and applications that compile in a matter of seconds

Description

A new language on the block, V comes with a promising set of features such as fast compilation and interoperability with other programming languages. This is the first book on the V programming language, packed with concise information and a walkthrough of all the features you need to know to get started with the language. The book begins by covering the fundamentals to help you learn about the basic features of V and the suite of built-in libraries available within the V ecosystem. You'll become familiar with primitive data types, declaring variables, arrays, and maps. In addition to basic programming, you'll develop a solid understanding of the building blocks of programming, including functions, structs, and modules in the V programming language. As you advance through the chapters, you'll learn how to implement concurrency in V Programming, and finally learn how to write test cases for functions. This book takes you through an end-to-end project that will guide you to build fast and maintainable RESTful microservices by leveraging the power of V and its built-in libraries. By the end of this V programming book, you'll be well-versed with the V programming language and be able to start writing your own programs and applications.

Navule has written an excellent first book on V (vlang), covering all the key fundamentals to be successful in V. I enjoyed that this book followed the traditional format of computing language books; separating by chapter the key concepts (variables, data types, arrays, maps, loops, functions, structs, modules - and of course, concurrency). I understand some modern-day book readers maybe find this jarring, but I prefer this style of book organization that leaves it up to the reader to take this breadth of knowledge, and integrate it together on their own terms. Too often today, programming books are reading like heaped together blog posts; this is not the case here, and follows more along that of an academic textbook. V has a very promising future, and I hope (through future editions), this book will become known by users as the penultimate reference for the language (akin to that of The C Programming Language by Kernighan/Ritchie).

Excellent book. I love it.

S Haldar Feb 21, 2022

My general impression of the book is very positive. It is written with a lot of care and goes into extensive detail. The author stops and explains programming language agnostic concepts and makes sure all the readers have the same footing. All the analogies used for explanation are relevant and easy to understand. The reader can expect to have a guided tour of all of V’s features and they are all complemented with quick examples for demonstration.The book is divided into sections that mostly make sense. I personally would have put the last chapter into a separate section and subdivide that into smaller chapters. Putting that aside, the book is well organised. An introduction, followed by basics, then advanced features of V, which is closed out by the grand finale of “Building a Microservice”.NOTE: V is a moving language in the alpha state. The latest version of V and the language described in the book may diverge non-uniformly.Because of this, the data in this book might need an update. Hopefully, Packt and the author will keep the code repository updated to ensure that all examples keep working correctly.I highly recommend keeping in touch with the V community on Discord, where the author of this book can be contacted, along with all the active developers and power users of V.
