Look inside
Eliminate the unavoidable complexity of object-oriented designs. The innovative data-oriented programming paradigm makes your systems less complex by making it simpler to access and manipulate data.
In Data-Oriented Programming you will learn how to:
Data-Oriented Programming is a one-of-a-kind guide that introduces the data-oriented paradigm. This groundbreaking approach represents data with generic immutable data structures. It simplifies state management, eases concurrency, and does away with the common problems you’ll find in object-oriented code. The book presents powerful new ideas through conversations, code snippets, and diagrams that help you quickly grok what’s great about DOP. Best of all, the paradigm is language-agnostic—you’ll learn to write DOP code that can be implemented in JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Clojure, and also in traditional OO languages like Java or C#.
In Data-Oriented Programming you will learn how to:
- Separate code from data
- Represent data with generic data structures
- Manipulate data with general-purpose functions
- Manage state without mutating data
- Control concurrency in highly scalable systems
- Write data-oriented unit tests
- Specify the shape of your data
- Benefit from polymorphism without objects
- Debug programs without a debugger

about the technology
Code that combines behavior and data, as is common in object-oriented designs, can introduce almost unmanageable complexity for state management. The Data-oriented programming (DOP) paradigm simplifies state management by holding application data in immutable generic data structures and then performing calculations using non-mutating general-purpose functions. Your applications are free of state-related bugs and your code is easier to understand and maintain.about the book
Data-Oriented Programming teaches you to design software using the groundbreaking data-oriented paradigm. You’ll put DOP into action to design data models for business entities and implement a library management system that manages state without data mutation. The numerous diagrams, intuitive mind maps, and a unique conversational approach all help you get your head around these exciting new ideas. Every chapter has a lightbulb moment that will change the way you think about programming.what's inside

about the reader
For programmers who have experience with a high-level programming language like JavaScript, Java, Python, C#, Clojure, or Ruby.After I saw the examples, I couldn’t unsee it. I didn’t need a new language; I needed to approach programming differently!
If you have to deal with data in your code, you should know about DOP!
The principles are straightforward and universally applicable.

Because I could get both a physical copy and a digital copy.
In fact, I bought a digital copy on Amazon before realizing I could get both on Manning. So, I rebought the digital copy so that I had both a .pdf as well as the physical book.
That enabled me to digitally loan my book to my Software Engineering friend (who would have never bought it as it is so far afield from his values). He read the digital copy and then we discussed it at length, which was of extremely high value to me.

“Well explained and understandable. The format of a dialog between people to explain the subject is a great choice”
All good!

I really enjoyed how he approached some of the more difficult-to-digest aspects of typeless FP upon which Clojure is predicated.
However, because I come from a strongly typed OOP+FP background (Scala and Java) for decades, I remain unconvinced the DOP approach is truly scalable for Enterprise IT architecture and design. Again, it has its narrow vertical, where I think it would be a very effective tool, primarily in text-heavy ETL pathways.
Outside of that, I would advocate for strongly typed OOP+FP of the genre that Scala has been at and remains the "bleeding edge".”
