Learning Functional Programming

Do you think that functional programming is something difficult, accessible only to programming gurus? This book will dispel the myth of elitism and allow any programmer to easily understand the intricacies of code.

From familiar and simple OOP ideas, you will... transition to FP by looking at it through simple examples, engaging exercises, and a wealth of illustrations.

You will start by solving simple and small tasks illustrating basic concepts such as pure functions and immutable data, learn to write code free of typical mistakes caused by complex distributed state, and delve into approaches for implementing input-output, parallel execution, and data streaming.

By the end of the book, you will be creating clear functional code that is easy to read, test, and maintain.
