Exploring Classes as Types

In Exploring Classes as Types, author and veteran web developer Matthias Noback has chosen content from three Manning books that explore this powerful technique. The first chapter showcases the numerous benefits that come with strongly typed code. Then, you'll drill down into different categories of objects and when and how to use them. Lastly, you'll zoom in on value objects, which are particularly well-suited to unit testing, and discover how they help to expand the "safe area" inside your application. With this laser-focused sampler, you'll be on your way to harnessing the power that treating classes as types offers!

Object Design Style Guide

Object Design Style Guide presents dozens of professional techniques for writing OO code. In it, veteran developer Matthias Noback lays out design rules for constructing objects, defining methods, changing and exposing state, and much more. All examples use instantly familiar pseudocode, so you can follow along in the language you prefer. You’ll go case by case as you explore important scenarios and challenges for object design and then walk through a simple web application that demonstrates how different types of objects can work together effectively.
