Description
Data-Oriented Programming teaches you to design and implement software using the data-oriented programming paradigm. In it, you'll learn author Yehonathan Sharvit's unique approach to DOP that he has developed over a decade of experience.
Every chapter contains a new light bulb moment that will change the way you think about programming. As you read, you'll build a library management system using the DOP paradigm. You'll design data models for business entities, manipulate immutable data collections, and write unit tests for data-oriented systems.
About the Technology
Data-oriented programming is an exciting new paradigm that eliminates the usual complexity caused by combining data and code into objects and classes. In DOP, you maintain application data in persistent generic data structures separated from the program's code. You use general-purpose functions to manipulate the data without mutating it. This approach rids your applications of state-related bugs and makes your code much easier to understand and maintain.
