The Art of Functional Programming

Functional programming is a powerful and elegant programming paradigm. Initially only popular among university researchers, it's gained much traction in the software industry in the last few years. From big companies to start-ups, engineers and managers have realized that functional programming excels at abstraction and composition. Functional programming allows for highly concise solutions with increased safety. This has led to rising demand for software engineers with functional programming skills. This book will help you move your programming skills to the next level by acquiring functional programming as a new skill in your programming toolbox.

There are tons of programming languages, frameworks, and tools out there—with many more coming in the future. The only way to stay ahead of the game in this vast and quickly changing software industry is to master the fundamentals and principles that cut across programming languages, frameworks, and tools. In the case of functional programming, learning to adopt the functional way of solving problems is much more productive than memorizing how to write functional code in a particular language. This book teaches this functional way of thinking. We'll also learn many fundamental techniques from programming languages, such as parsing, compilation, and type checking.

We'll also look at examples and exercises that are typically encountered in a programmer's day-to-day job. Furthermore, an entire chapter is dedicated to applying what we've learned to real-world scenarios. In particular, we'll use functional programming to process collections of data for an e-commerce application and handle the JSON datatype.
