In  Functional Programming in Scala, Second Edition you will learn how to: Recognize and write purely functional code Work with errors without using exceptions Work with state and concurrency Interact with functional structures that define common behaviors Write code that performs I/O without sacrificing functional programming The first edition of  Functional Programming in Scala has helped over 30,000 developers discover the power of functional programming. This second edition is fully updated to Scala 3 and the latest standards of FP. Inside, you'll find a serious tutorial for programmers looking to apply functional programming to improve their everyday coding practices. You'll progress from the basics to advanced topics in a logical, concise, and clear progression. Throughout, concrete examples and exercises open up the world of functional programming. about the technology

Functional programming (FP) is a style of software development emphasizing functions that don't 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 a popular 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. about the book

Functional Programming in Scala, Second Edition teaches you functional programming from first principles using the powerful Scala language. You'll develop the unique skills you need to start thinking functionally through hands-on exercises and coding challenges. New to the revised second edition, each exercise comes with extensive annotations to help you understand functional programming in-depth. You'll even learn how to build your own Scala functional library that's perfectly adapted to your needs. You'll soon be writing Scala code that's easier to read, easier to reuse, better for concurrency, and less prone to bugs and errors. RETAIL SELLING POINTS  Recognize and write purely functional code  Work with errors without using exceptions  Work with state and concurrency  Interact with functional structures that define common behaviours  Write code that performs I/O without sacrificing functional programming  AUDIENCE  For programmers experienced in Java or Scala. No prior knowledge of functional programming required.

Functional Programming in Kotlin  is a reworked version of the bestselling   Functional Programming in Scala, with all code samples, instructions, and exercises translated into the powerful Kotlin language. In this authoritative guide, you’ll take on the challenge of learning functional programming from first principles, and start writing Kotlin code that’s easier to read, easier to reuse, better for concurrency, and less prone to bugs and errors. about the technology

Kotlin is a new JVM language designed to interoperate with Java and offer an improved developer experience for creating new applications. It’s already a top choice for writing web services, and Android apps. Although it preserves Java’s OO roots, Kotlin really shines when you adopt a functional programming mindset. By learning the core principles and practices of functional programming outlined in this book, you’ll start writing code that’s easier to read, easier to test and reuse, better for concurrency, and less prone to bugs. about the book

Functional Programming in Kotlin  is a serious tutorial for programmers looking to learn FP and apply it to the everyday business of coding. Based on the bestselling   Functional Programming in Scala, this book guides intermediate Java and Kotlin programmers from basic techniques to advanced topics in a logical, concise, and clear progression. In it, you'll find concrete examples and exercises that open up the world of functional programming. The book will deliver practical mastery of FP using Kotlin and a valuable perspective on program design that you can apply to other languages.   what's inside

Functional programming techniques for real-world applications Write combinator libraries Identify common structures and idioms in functional design Code for simplicity, modularity, and fewer bugs about the reader

For intermediate Kotlin and Java developers. No experience with functional programming is required. about the author

Marco Vermeulen  has almost two decades of programming experience on the JVM, with much of that time spent on functional programming using Scala and Kotlin. Rúnar Bjarnason  and   Paul Chiusano  are the authors of   Functional Programming in Scala, on which this book is based. They are internationally-recognized experts in functional programming and the Scala programming language.
