, Early Praise for Functional Programming: A PragPub Anthology
If you’ve been wondering what all the functional hubbub is about, Functional
Programming: A PragPub Anthology will satisfy. You can wet your whistle with
several languages, get a feel for how to think functionally, and do so without
overcommitting to one language or school of thought.

Programming’s last sea change was in the 1990s when object orientation went
mainstream. It’s happening again, but this time it’s functional programming that’s
sweeping through our profession. Read this book to understand why and to learn
how to ride the wave.

I really enjoyed the structure and flow of the book. The chapters stand on their
own as essays but when put together make a strong argument for functional
programming, regardless of the language. It’s also a treat to see all these different
familiar writers write about diverse languages.

, You’re sure to find a way functional programming resonates with you with the
wealth of approaches and languages covered. The treatment of Scala collection is
superb: everything a beginner needs to know from the get-go!
