Take advantage of the growing trend in functional
programming.
C# is the number-one language used by .NET developers and one of
the most popular programming languages in the world. It has many
built-in functional programming features, but most are complex and
little understood. With the shift to functional programming
increasing at a rapid pace, you need to know how to leverage your
existing skills to take advantage of this trend.
Functional Programming in C# leads you along a path that
begins with the historic value of functional ideas. Inside, C# MVP
and functional programming expert Oliver Sturm explains the details
of relevant language features in C# and describes theory and
practice of using functional techniques in C#, including currying,
partial application, composition, memoization, and monads. Next, he
provides practical and versatile examples, which combine approaches
to solve problems in several different areas, including complex
scenarios like concurrency and high-performance calculation
frameworks as well as simpler use cases like Web Services and
business logic implementation.
* Shows how C# developers can leverage their existing skills to
take advantage of functional programming
* Uses very little math theory and instead focuses on providing
solutions to real development problems with functional programming
methods, unlike traditional functional programming titles
* Includes examples ranging from simple cases to more complex
scenarios
Let Functional Programming in C# show you how to get in
front of the shift toward functional programming.
