Book Description

Learn the main concepts behind functional programming such as currying, partial application, and monads, and how to combine functional programming with your imperative programming projects.

Functional programming is fundamentally different from imperative programming. As such, it provides a unique approach to solving problems - one that requires developers to transform how they think about software design and implementation. With Imperative to Functional Programming Succinctly by Marc Clifton, you will learn many of the basic concepts involved with functional programming, such as currying, partial application, function pipelines, recursion, and continuations. By book's end, you will learn how to combine functional and imperative programming to get the most out of your solutions.

• Object-Oriented vs. Functional Programming (R. Warburton)

  This book discusses similarities between these programming paradigms and points out that both FP and OOP are actually moving closer toward one another. One prominent example is the use of lambda expressions in Java and other OOP languages.

• Mostly Adequate Guide To Functional Programming

  This is a book on the functional paradigm in general. We'll use the world's most popular functional programming language: JavaScript. This makes it possible to practice and apply your acquired knowledge each day on real world programs.

• Functional Programming in Python (David Mertz)

  It describes ways to avoid Python's imperative-style flow control, the nuances of callable functions, how to work lazily with iterators, and the use of higher-order functions. He also lists several third-party Python libraries useful for functional programming.

• The Haskell School of Music - From Signals to Symphonies

  This book explores the fundamentals of computer music and functional programming through the Haskell. It explores common paradigms used in algorithmic music composition, such as stochastic generation, musical grammars, etc.

• Functional Programming in OCaml (Michael R. Clarkson, et al.)

  This book is a multi-dimensional presentation of the OCaml language that combines an informal and intuitive approach to the language with a rigorous definition and a formal semantics of a large subset of the language, including ML.

• Writing Native Mobile Apps in a Functional Language Succinctly

  This book shows how you can use a customized functional language to build fully functional mobile apps. You will build off the skills you’ve already developed to begin creating applications that you can put to immediate use.

• Exploring ReasonML and Functional Programming

  This book teaches the programming language ReasonML by Facebook. It is also an introduction to functional programming. Especially people familiar with C-style languages (Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) will profit from ReasonML's familiar syntax.

• Purely Functional Data Structures (Chris Okasaki)

  This book describes data structures from the point of view of functional languages, with examples, and presents design techniques that allow programmers to develop their own functional data structures. All source code is given in Standard ML and Haskell.

• Type Theory and Functional Programming (Simon Thompson)

  This book explores the role of Martin-Lof's constructive type theory in computer programming. The main focus of the book is how the theory can be successfully applied in practice.

• Functional Programming in Scheme (Kurt Normark)

  This is a book about functional programming in Scheme, which is a pragmatic choice of programming language in the functional programming paradigm, with unique flexibility due to the membership of the Lisp family of languages.

• Functional-Light JavaScript (Kyle Simpson)

  This book is a balanced, pragmatic exploration of Functional Programming (FP) in JavaScript. It explores the core principles of FP as they are applied to JavaScript without drowning in all the heavy terminology.

• A Look at Functional Programming with Standard ML

  This book uses the Standard ML programming language as a vehicle to study functional programming. Learn about type deduction, pattern matching, currying, partial application, composition of functions, and why variables and loops really aren't needed!
