Part 1. Core concepts
In this part we’ll cover the basic techniques and principles of functional programming.
Chapter 1 starts by looking at what functional programming is, and how C# supports programming in a functional style. It then delves deeper into higher-order functions, a fundamental technique of FP.
Chapter 2 explains what pure functions are, why purity has important implications for a function’s testability, and why pure functions lend themselves well to parallelization and other optimizations.
Chapter 3 deals with principles for designing types and function signatures—things you thought you knew but that receive a breath of fresh air when looked at from a functional perspective.
Chapter 4 introduces some of the core functions of ...
