Look inside
Programming with Types teaches you to design safe, resilient, correct software that’s easy to maintain and understand by taking advantage of the power of strong type systems. Designed to provide practical, instantly useful techniques for working developers, this clearly written tutorial introduces you to using type systems to support everyday programming tasks.
about the technology
Common bugs often result from mismatched data types. By precisely naming and controlling which data are allowable in a calculation, a strong type system can eliminate whole classes of errors and ensure data integrity throughout an application. As a developer, skillfully using types in your everyday practice leads to better code and saves time tracking down tricky data-related errors.
about the book
Programming with Types teaches type-based techniques for writing software that’s safe, correct, easy to maintain, and practically self-documenting. Designed for working developers, this clearly written tutorial sticks with the practical benefits of type systems for everyday programming tasks. Following real-world examples coded in TypeScript, you’ll build your skills from primitive types up to more-advanced concepts like functors and monads.
what's inside
- Building data structures with primitive types, arrays, and references
- How types affect functions, inheritance, and composition
- Object-oriented programming with types
- Applying generics and higher-kinded types
about the reader
You’ll need experience with a mainstream programming language like TypeScript, Java, JavaScript, C#, or C++.
Well-presented, valuable knowledge on type systems, data structures, algorithms, and programming paradigms (functional and OO).
A triumph of types exploration, with concise examples of how types can make programs more robust and sound.
Everything you need to know about types, from Booleans to monads. This book has you covered.
Finally, a book that fills the gap between theory and practice in type systems.

“Wanted to buy my own copy of the book”
Excellent introduction
May 25, 2020 by James (CA, United States)
“The book is very good at explaining how to use types and extolling their virtues. If there had been a section on when NOT to use types and what trade-offs are involved then the book would have been more balanced.”
Company Choice
I have never had any problems getting either e-books or physical books from Manning. A number of the coder's groups that I follow on-line have referenced Manning, and I have yet to see any complaints there either.

“Not what I expected. Talk a lot about typing in a generic way, not really helpful to learn typescript”
