Getting Started with V Programming: An end-to-end guide to adopting the V language from basic variables and modules to advanced concurrency 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

by Navule Pavan Kumar Rao (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (21)

Learn a new statically compiled programming language to build maintainable and fast software with the help of this comprehensive guide to V programming

Key Features

  • 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

Book 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.

What you will learn

  • Become familiar with the basic building blocks of programming in the V language
  • Install the V language on various operating systems
  • Understand how to work with arrays and maps in V programming
  • Discover how to implement concurrency in V programming
  • Understand best practices of sharing memory by letting coroutines communicate with each other using channels in V
  • Write modular code and build on your knowledge of structs and functions in V
  • Get acquainted with writing tests in V programming
  • Get to grips with building and querying RESTful microservice in V

    4.0 out of 5 stars Told me what I needed to know about the V Programming Language
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    When I first got this book, I thought, "Oh, no, 400 pages?"

    While I found a few redundancies, they weren't excessive, and main reason that it's 400 pages is that the author gave lots of examples for each language feature. I think that would make it a good reference if you want to get started with V, and found the official documentation a little too terse. I read it from cover to cover as a general introduction to the language, looking for how it differs (or not) from other languages I already know. I don't think that reading it straight through would be necessary for most folks.

    After reading the book, I can say that the author persuaded me that I did not really want to spend the time needed (at least not now) to learn how to do production programming in V. That was certainly not the author's intention -- he's obviously a fan of V -- but the language is not quite ready for Prime Time, and I already know C and C++, and have gotten quite good at both of those in the 30-odd years I've done programming for a living, so I don't really need V for anything. I certainly don't need a C front-end that sort-of makes it a bit like Python (only faster, with C integration, etc.).

    The fact that I don't particularly like the language is not really a reflection on this book. It did a good job of covering the basics and giving understandable examples. I could say I'm glad I read the book, because it gave me the information I needed to accurately evaluate the V Programming Language.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An emerging new programming language
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2022
    Format: Paperback
    The V book is a well-written book on the subject by a professional and reviewed by one of the contributors of V programming language. The authors started explaining what V Programming language is, its features and capability including building an operating system (OS) called Vinix. Chapter 2 is on the several ways to install V Programming language in several OSes. I tried to follow their instructions and it is straight forward and easy to follow. After Section 1 that cover the first two-chapter, Section 3 is discussing syntax of V programming language. I found that their syntax is a mix from many programming languages such Pascal (the variable declaration), C/C++, Python, and other programming languages. The V programming language has a new data type called rune data type which is compound unsigned integer data type in Unicode. The syntax of Array data type reminds me of C++ programming syntax. Maps data type and match control is similar to dictionary data type and control flow in Python. The next and last section 3 is the Advanced Concepts in V Programming covering concurrency, testing, JSON, ORM, and building Microservice. I read this book with try to find a computer graphics application in my mind and I did not find it which is a bit disappointing. I look through their GitHub repository and found one ray tracing application.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent first book on the V Programming Language
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    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).

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction and Reference to V Language
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    This book is a relatively easy to follow primer on the V programming language. Installation was clean and I was able to get started immediately on verifying the code examples and writing my own simple routines.
    I was pleased that the code examples actually worked in practice. In the past, I have been given code snippets in other manuals that don’t execute or compile. Very frustrating.
    The language has powerful functions that can be utilized. Certain Advanced topics like Concurrency were explained very well and thoroughly.
    There are complex examples that can be skipped. However, they can be explored further if one wants to challenge oneself or expects to use that code feature in their development.
    The last chapters tie it all together by showing how V can be used to interact with a screen interface.

    The following critique relates to the language itself, not the book.
    V contains a test mode which is explained thoroughly. However, I could see no clear advantage to using it versus traditional testing methods.
    Arrays are not clear, particularly the usage/difference between a map and an array. That said, there is a ‘Clone Array’ function that is very useful.
    The text could do a slightly better job explaining the following topics:
    Boolean examples
    Use of Globals vs Constants
    Enum type usage
    Structure setup
    Lastly there are some features beyond my need like Promoting Numerics and Runes. Again, one can skim over these topics.
    In conclusion a worthwhile introduction/guide to V language. The text will get you started and serve as a good reference when you get involved in using the language.
