SummaryFunctional Programming in C# teaches you to apply functional thinking to real-world
problems using the C# language. The book with its many practical examples is written for
proficient C# programmers with no prior FP experience. It will give you an awesome new
perspective.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF Kindle and ePub formats
from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyFunctional programming changes the way you think
about code. For C# developers FP techniques can greatly improve state management concurrency
event handling and long-term code maintenance. And C# offers the flexibility that allows you
to benefit fully from the application of functional techniques. This book gives you the awesome
power of a new perspective.About the BookFunctional Programming in C# teaches you to apply
functional thinking to real-world problems using the C# language. You'll start by learning the
principles of functional programming and the language features that allow you to program
functionally. As you explore the many practical examples you'll learn the power of function
composition data flow programming immutable data structures and monadic composition with
LINQ.What's InsideWrite readable team-friendly codeMaster async and data streamsRadically
improve error handlingEvent sourcing and other FP patternsAbout the ReaderWritten for
