Functional Programming in C#: How to write better C# code

Synopsis

SummaryFunctional Programming in C# teaches you to apply functional thinking to real-world problems using the C# language. The book, with its many practical examples, is written for proficient C# programmers with no prior FP experience. It will give you an awesome new perspective.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyFunctional programming changes the way you think about code. For C# developers, FP techniques can greatly improve state management, concurrency, event handling, and long-term code maintenance. And C# offers the flexibility that allows you to benefit fully from the application of functional techniques. This book gives you the awesome power of a new perspective.About the BookFunctional Programming in C# teaches you to apply functional thinking to real-world problems using the C# language. You'll start by learning the principles of functional programming and the language features that allow you to program functionally. As you explore the many practical examples, you'll learn the power of function composition, data flow programming, immutable data structures, and monadic composition with LINQ.What's InsideWrite readable, team-friendly codeMaster async and data streamsRadically improve error handlingEvent sourcing and other FP patternsAbout the ReaderWritten for proficient C# programmers with no prior FP experience.About the AuthorEnrico Buonanno studied computer science at Columbia University and has 15 years of experience as a developer, architect, and trainer.Table of ContentsPART 1 - CORE CONCEPTSIntroducing functional programmingWhy function purity matters Designing function signatures and types Patterns in functional programming Designing programs with function composition PART 2 - BECOMING FUNCTIONALFunctional error handling Structuring an application with functions Working effectively with multi-argument functions Thinking about data functionally Event sourcing: a functional approach to persistence PART 3 - ADVANCED TECHNIQUESLazy computations, continuations, and the beauty of monadic composition Stateful programs and stateful computations Working with asynchronous computations Data streams and the Reactive Extensions An introduction to message-passing concurrency
