Solidity Programming Essentials, 2nd Edition
Solidity is a high-level language for writing smart contracts, and the syntax has large similarities with JavaScript, thereby making it easier for developers to learn, design, compile, and deploy smart contracts on large blockchain ecosystems including Ethereum and Polygon among others. This book guides you in understanding Solidity programming from scratch. The book starts with step-by-step instructions for the installation of multiple tools and private blockchain, along with foundational concepts such as variables, data types, and programming constructs. You'll then explore contracts based on an object-oriented paradigm, including the usage of constructors, interfaces, libraries, and abstract contracts. The following chapters help you get to grips with testing and debugging smart contracts. As you advance, you'll learn about advanced concepts like assembly programming, advanced interfaces, usage of recovery, and error handling using try-catch blocks. You'll also explore multiple d ...

Learning Go
Go is rapidly becoming the preferred language for building web services. While there are plenty of tutorials available that teach Go's syntax to developers with experience in other programming languages, tutorials aren't enough. They don't teach Go's idioms, so developers end up recreating patterns that don't make sense in a Go context. This practical guide provides the essential background you need to write clear and idiomatic Go. No matter your level of experience, you'll learn how to think like a Go developer. Author Jon Bodner introduces the design patterns experienced Go developers have adopted and explores the rationale for using them. You'll also get a preview of Go's upcoming generics support and how it fits into the language. Learn how to write idiomatic code in Go and design a Go project; Understand the reasons for the design decisions in Go; Set up a Go development environment for a solo developer or team; Learn how and when to use reflection, unsafe, and cgo; Discover ...

Learning Functional Programming
Learn how to think and write code like a functional programmer. With this practical guide, software developers familiar with object-oriented programming will dive into the core concepts of functional programming and learn how to use both functional and OOP features together on large or complex software projects. Author Jack Widman uses samples from Java, Python, C#, Scala, and JavaScript to help you gain a new perspective and a set of tools for managing the complexity in your problem domain. You'll be able to write code that's simpler, reusable, easier to test and modify, and more consistently correct. This book also shows you how to use patterns from category theory to help bridge the gap between OOP and functional programming. Learn functional programming fundamentals and explore the way functional programmers approach problems; Understand how FP differs from object-oriented and imperative programming; Use a set of practical, applicable design patterns that model reality in a f ...

.NET Performance Testing and Optimization
As we develop the applications to meet current and future needs, it is only natural to use current best practices and techniques for our designs and implementations. In the quest to improve how we develop, we can access a true wealth of information which is available on design patterns, object-oriented analysis, low-level code techniques and language features. The technology community is full of articles, blog posts, books, and videos describing things such as generics, how to implement the observer pattern, LINQ to SQL techniques, CSS tricks, and a host of other topics. These points are often easily described in a single post or article, wherein a thorough dissemination of the technique can be presented, and readers and viewers can quickly gain a much better understanding of the technique or point in question. Indeed, when broken down into individual and easily digestible components, almost anything complex becomes much easier to grasp. From the point of view of sophisticated de ...
