Getting Started with V Programming

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 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 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. Finally, you'll learn how to leverage the statically typed compiled design of V programming to write fast and maintainable software using microservices and how to write test cases for functions in V.

By the end of the book, you'll be well-versed with the V programming language and be able to start writing your own programs and applications.
