|
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> |
