Enrico Buonanno – författare

Functional Programming in C#, Second Edition is fully revised to cover new functional-inspired features in the most recent releases of C#, including tuples, async streams, pattern matching, and records. Each chapter is packed with awesome perspectives and epiphany moments. Functional Programming in C#, Second Edition teaches you to apply functional thinking to real-world problems using the C# language.

You'll discover the principles and language features of functional programming, explore C#'s functional language features, and learn how to use them to write code that is concise, elegant, and robust. Through numerous real-world examples, you'll also learn the power of function composition, data flow programming, immutable data structures, and monadic composition with LINQ.

Functional programming changes the way you think about code by concentrating your attention on generic, composable behaviours instead of more complex objects. It gives developers the power to get more done with less code, enables super-safe concurrency that's perfect for multicore processors, and makes your code easy to maintain long-term. C#'s flexibility lets you benefit fully from the application of functional techniques.

Functional programming is a way of thinking about programs that emphasizes functions, while avoiding state mutation. C# includes a number of functional features and libraries, enabling us to take advantage of these benefits.

 

Functional Programming in C# teaches readers to apply functional thinking to real-world scenarios. They’ll start by learning the principles of functional programming, and how they translate in the C# language. By the end of this book, readers will be able to integrate functional techniques, making their C# programs robust and maintainable, and helping them to become more well rounded developers.

This book is designed to help C# programmers with an OOP background understand functional thinking.

 

About the Technology:  

Functional programming is a way of thinking about programs that emphasizes functions, while avoiding state mutation. It allows us to write elegant, intention-revealing code, that shines in testability and support for concurrency.

Real world examples and practical techniques for functional programming in C# without the jargon and theory.In Functional Programming in C#, Second Edition you will learn how to:     Use higher-order functions to reduce duplication and do more with less code     Use pure functions to write code that is easy to test and optimize     Write pleasant APIs that accurately describe your program's behavior     Use dedicated types to handle nullability, system errors, and validation rules predictably and elegantly     Write composable code without the overhead of an IoC container Functional Programming in C# has helped thousands of developers apply functional thinking to C# code. Its practical examples and spot-on treatment of FP concepts makes it the perfect guide for proficient C# programmers. This second edition is fully revised to cover new functional-inspired features in the most recent releases of C#, including tuples, async streams, pattern matching, and records. Each chapter is packed with awesome perspectives and epiphany moments on how functional programming can change the way you code. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the technology Turbocharge your C# code. Good functional techniques will improve concurrency, state management, event handling, and maintainability of your software. This book gives you practical answers to why, how, and where to add functional programing into your C# coding practice. About the book Functional Programming in C#, Second Edition teaches functional thinking for real-world problems. It reviews the C# language features that allow you to program functionally and through many practical examples shows the power of function composition, data-driven programming, and immutable data structures. All code examples work with .NET 6 and C# 10. What's inside     Higher-order functions reduce duplication and do more with less code     Code based on pure functions is easy to test and optimize     Write pleasant APIs that accurately describe your program’s behavior     Write a Web API in a functional style     Monadic composition with LINQ About the reader For intermediate C# programmers.
