Book Description

Explore functional programming in C# with the help of clear explanations, practical examples, and hands-on exercises and write efficient, modular, and readable codeKey FeaturesMaster functional programming in C# for expressive, modular codeApply advanced concepts such as error handling and asynchronous programming to overcome real-world challengesGain practical coding skills through practical application and self-assessment questionsPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionIn an era where software complexity is increasing by the day, functional programming offers a paradigm that simplifies code maintenance and enhances reliability. Functional Programming with C# takes you on an exhaustive jouey into functional programming within C#. The book familiarizes you with the core principles and benefits of functional programming, juxtaposing it with imperative and object-oriented paradigms. You’ll get to grips with the functional features of C# and lea to write expressive, modular code through expressions, pure functions, and higher-order functions. As you advance, you’ll explore advanced concepts such as error handling and asynchronous programming, which will equip you with the practical skills that you need to tackle real-world challenges. By comparing functional programming in C# with other languages and providing additional resources, this book ensures that you’re well-equipped to continue your jouey toward mastery in functional programming. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained a thorough understanding of functional programming techniques, such as recursion, memoization, and composition, empowering you to write robust, maintainable code.What you will leaUnderstand the core principles of functional programmingDifferentiate functional, imperative, and OOP paradigmsWrite expressive code with higher-order functionsHandle errors effectively using functional techniquesUtilize asynchronous programming for concurrent tasksGrasp advanced concepts, such as recursion and memoizationWho this book is forThis book is for intermediate-to-advanced C# developers looking to expand their programming paradigm horizons. Software engineers, developers, and programmers familiar with C# and object-oriented programming who want to delve deeper into functional programming concepts will find this book very useful. This book is ideal for professionals aiming to enhance code modularity, readability, and scalability. While prior knowledge of C# is necessary, beginners with a strong grasp of programming fundamentals can also benefit from the clear explanations and practical exercises provided.Table of ContentsGetting Started with Functional ProgrammingExpressions and StatementsPure Functions and Side EffectsHonest Functions, Null, and OptionError HandlingHigher-Order Functions and Delegates Functors and MonadsRecursion and Tail CallsCurrying and Partial Application Pipelines and CompositionReflecting and Looking Ahead
