|
||
|
|
Functional programming is fundamentally different from imperative programming.
|
||
|
|
As such, it provides a unique approach to solving problems—one that requires
|
||
|
|
developers to transform how they think about software design and
|
||
|
|
implementation. With Imperative to Functional Programming Succinctly by Marc
|
||
|
|
Clifton, you will learn many of the basic concepts involved with functional
|
||
|
|
programming, such as currying, partial application, function pipelines,
|
||
|
|
recursion, and continuations. By book's end, you will learn how to combine
|
||
|
|
functional and imperative programming to get the most out of your solutions.</p>

|
<p>I know the "Succinctly" series doesn't go deep into a topic, but this book
|
||
|
|
takes a step further by not even respecting its own title.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The correct title would be "C# to F# Succinctly".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The reason is that there isn't many explanations about "functional
|
||
|
|
programming", in the general sense, in this book. Here, most things are
|
||
|
|
explained in the F# context, which, as the author points, isn't a pure
|
||
|
|
functional language.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, it goes great lengths to make code unreadable by avoiding proper
|
||
|
|
variable names and using things like "hd" and "tl" (instead of, say, "user"
|
||
|
|
and "remaining_users") and "racc" and "lacc" instead of "sum_right" and
|
||
|
|
"sum_left" (although I could point that this <em>seems</em> like a functional
|
||
|
|
programming thing).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So, again: Want to use your knowledge of imperative programming to learn
|
||
|
|
functional programming? Sorry, not this book. Know C# and want to learn F#?
|
||
|
|
Then you have something to read.</p>
