ISBN: 9781617290657.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSummary\n\nFunctional Programming in Scala is a serious tutorial for programmers looking to learn FP and apply it to the everyday business of coding. The book guides readers from basic techniques to advanced topics in a logical, concise, and clear progression. In it, youll find concrete examples and exercises that open up the world of functional programming.\n\nPurchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.\n\nAbout the Technology\n\nFunctional programming (FP) is a style of software development emphasizing functions that dont depend on program state. Functional code is easier to test and reuse, simpler to parallelize, and less prone to bugs than other code. Scala is an emerging JVM language that offers strong support for FP. Its familiar syntax and transparent interoperability with Java make Scala a great place to start learning FP.\n\nAbout the Book\n\nFunctional Programming in Scala is a serious tutorial for programmers looking to learn FP and apply it to their everyday work. The book guides readers from basic techniques to advanced topics in a logical, concise, and clear progression. In it, youll find concrete examples and exercises that open up the world of functional programming.\n\nThis book assumes no prior experience with functional programming. Some prior exposure to Scala or Java is helpful.\n\nWhats Inside\nFunctional programming concepts The whys and hows of FP How to write multicore programs Exercises and checks for understanding\nAbout the Authors\n\nPaul Chiusano and Rúnar Bjarnason are recognized experts in functional programming with Scala and are core contributors to the Scalaz library.\n\nTable of Contents\nPART 1 INTRODUCTION TO FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING What is functional programming?
