Thinking functionally

2nd October 2014 in New York City at DUMBO Loft

SkillsCast coming soon.

Session 2 with Scott Whalschin explores how to change your coding mindset and start to think functionally.

Based on this series.

The math behind FP
Every function has one input and output
Currying, partial application again
Lambdas
Primitive types, unit, tuples, generics by default
Designing for partial application - why is parameter order “backwards” compared to OO?
Being able to read function signatures. Using signatures to find a library function
Why generics are safer than knowing the type
Understanding type inference
Organizing functions in modules

Code project:
Simple RPN stack based calculator. For more advanced people, add a simple parser and a WinForms UI.

Session 2 recap
Should be now be very comfortable with FP concepts
