Overview of this book

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 the 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 built-in 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, and finally learn how to write test cases for functions. This book takes you through an end-to-end project that will guide you to build fast and maintainable RESTful microservices by leveraging the power of V and its built-in libraries. By the end of this V programming book, you'll be well-versed with the V programming language and be able to start writing your own programs and applications.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The x variable is declared with a value of 100 using the := symbol."

A block of code is set as follows:

const (
    app_name = 'V on Wheels'
    max_connections = 1000
    decimal_places = 2
    pi = 3.14
)

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

import json
fn main() {
	m := Note{
		id: 2
		message: 'Get groceries'
		status: false
	}
	j := json.encode(m)
	println(j)
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

sudo apt -y update sudo apt install -y build-essential

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "Now select the Body tab, and check the raw radio button."
