This book fills that gap. It explains the process of writing good code, and teaches you to achieve beautifully programmed ends by way of extremely practical means. What It's About99 Bottles of OOP is a practical guide to writing cost-effective, maintainable, and pleasing object-oriented code. It explores: Recognizing when code is "good enough"Getting the best value from Test-Driven Development (TDD)Doing proper refactoring, not random "rehacktoring"Locating concepts buried in codeFinding names that convey deeper meaning Safely altering code by following the "Flocking Rules" Simplifying new additions with the Open/Closed PrincipleAvoiding conditionals by obeying the Liskov Substitution PrincipleMaking targeted improvements by reducing Code SmellsWhat Makes It Unique?We are practical people. We love beautiful code but we're committed to getting things done. 99 Bottles of OOP enables both of these desires. It teaches a practical technique for getting things done that leads, naturally and inevitably, to beautiful code.This book contains an extended refactoring, and it details the rationale behind every change. It is a hands-on workbook rather than a list of theoretical ideas. It explains how to use the principles of object-oriented design to guide, not just the final arrangement of code, but each decision about what line of code to write next.It teaches the theory of what good OO looks like, but even better, it supplies step-by-step guidance about how to achieve it.Who Should Read It?The lessons work for programmers with a broad range of experience, from rank novice to grizzled veteran. The code examples are written in Ruby, but this book is not about Ruby--it's about object-oriented programming and design. Regardless of your background, applying these techniques will make your code easier to understand, simpler to change, and more satisfying to contemplate.

    From connection management, to batch updates, fetch sizes and concurrency control mechanisms, it unravels the inner workings of the most common Java data access frameworks.The first part aims to reduce the gap between application developers and database administrators. For this reason, it covers both JDBC and the database fundamentals that are of paramount importance when reducing transaction response times.The second part demonstrates how you can take advantage of JPA and Hibernate without compromising application performance.The third part is dedicated to jOOQ and its powerful type-safe querying capabilities, like window functions or common table expressions.

    Domain modeling is a technique for creating a conceptual map of a problem space such as a business system or a scientific application, so that the developer can write the software more efficiently. The domain model doesn't present a solution to the problem, but instead describes the attributes, roles, and relationships of the entities involved, along with the constraints of the system.Reactive application design, which uses functional programming principles along with asynchronous non-blocking communication, promises to be a potent pattern for developing performant systems that are relatively easy to manage, maintain and evolve. Typically we call such models "reactive" because they are more responsive both to user requests and to system loads. But designing and implementing such models requires a different way of thinking. Because the core behaviors are implemented using pure functions, you can reason about the domain model just like mathematics, so your model becomes verifiable and robust.Functional and Reactive Domain Modeling teaches you how to think of the domain model in terms of pure functions and how to compose them to build larger abstractions. You will start with the basics of functional programming and gradually progress to the advanced concepts and patterns that you need to know to implement complex domain models. The book demonstrates how advanced FP patterns like algebraic data types, typeclass based design, and isolation of side-effects can make your model compose for readability and verifiability.On the subject of reactive modeling, the book focuses on higher order concurrency patterns like actors and futures. It uses the Akka framework as the reference implementation and demonstrates how advanced architectural patterns like event sourcing and CQRS can be put to great use in implementing scalable models. You will learn techniques that are radically different from the standard RDBMS based applications that are based on mutation of records. You'll also pick up important patterns like using asynchronous messaging for interaction based on non blocking concurrency and model persistence, which delivers the speed of in-memory processing along with suitable guarantees of reliability.

    The book walks you through one of the main use cases for shapeless – automatic, boilerplate-free derivation of type class instances.The book is divided into two parts. Part I introduces the general mechanisms for type class derivation in shapeless. It introduces generic encodings of product and coproduct types (case classes and sealed traits), and shows how to implement type classes by solving problems at the generic level.In Part II we open the shapeless toolbox and show how to apply the solutions from Part I to a wider range of situations. We introduce polymorphic functions that let us map and flatMap over generic representations, and show how we can count at the type level.Each chapter of the book is illustrated with worked examples that are also available on Github (https://github.com/underscoreio/shape...).

    Through concrete examples and jargon-free explanations, this book teaches you how to apply functional programming to real-life development tasks. The book includes insightful comparisons to object-oriented or imperative programming, which will allow you to ease into functional design. Moreover, you'll learn a repertoire of techniques including function chaining and pipelining, recursion, currying, binding, functional composition, lazy evaluation, fluent error handling, memoization, and much more. By the end of the book, you'll think about application design in a fresh new way.About the technologyAs web developers build increasingly complex applications in JavaScript, the code base for these projects can become exponentially larger and harder to maintain. The result? Application performance suffers, and readability and extensibility are severely compromised. For applications like these, Functional Programming provides a saner approach, allowing you to write elegant, readable code that raises the level of abstraction while being less prone to errors. Although not a "pure" functional language, JavaScript's native functional capabilities unlock access to proven functional programming techniques and practices.What's insideFoundations of functional programming and designExplore JavaScript's functional programming capabilities and the functional library ecosystemCreate more reliable code by embracing immutabilityLearn to write code that's easier to reason aboutSeparate core logic from program structure to write extensible codeAdopt a new approach to error handling and testingApply functional programming to solve real-world problemsAbout the readerReaders need to be comfortable with JavaScript programming and object-oriented design.
