You'll start with small, comfortable coding tasks that expose basic concepts like writing pure functions and working with immutable data. Along the way, you'll learn how to write code that eliminates common bugs caused by complex distributed state. You'll also explore the FP approach to IO, concurrency, and data streaming. By the time you finish, you'll be writing clean functional code that's easy to understand, test, and maintain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What's inside \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Designing with functions and types instead of objects\u003cbr\u003e Programming with pure functions and immutable values\u003cbr\u003e Writing concurrent programs using the functional style\u003cbr\u003e Testing functional programs \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbout the reader\u003cbr\u003e For developers who know an object-oriented language.
