Do you think that functional programming is something difficult, accessible only to programming gurus? This book will debunk the myth of elitism and will allow any programmer to easily understand the intricacies of the code.

from the familiar and simple ideas of the OOP, you will go to the FP, examining it on simple examples, exciting exercises and a large number of illustrations.

You will start with solving simple and small problems illustrating basic concepts, such as pure functions and unchanged data, learn to write a code deprived of typical errors due to the presence of a complex distributed state, deal with approaches to the implementation of the input and output parallel execution and streaming data. By the end of the book, you will create a clear functional code that is easily read, tested and accompanied.
