Real world examples and practical techniques for functional programming in C# without the jargon and theory.

In Functional Programming in C#, Second Edition you will learn how to:

Use higher-order functions to reduce duplication and do more with less code
Use pure functions to write code that is easy to test and optimize
Write pleasant APIs that accurately describe your program's behavior
Use dedicated types to handle nullability, system errors, and validation rules predictably and elegantly
Write composable code without the overhead of an IoC container

Functional Programming in C# has helped thousands of developers apply functional thinking to C# code. Its practical examples and spot-on treatment of FP concepts makes it the perfect guide for proficient C# programmers. This second edition is fully revised to cover new functional-inspired features in the most recent releases of C#, including tuples, async streams, pattern matching, and records.

Matt reviewed Functional Programming in C#, Second Edition by Enrico Buonanno

A great foundation for functional programming in C#

4 stars

This book was mentioned as an inspiration for Simon Painter's "Functional Programming With C#", and after learning a great deal of what was possible, I wanted more, and so I read this book too, and I'm glad I did!

It's the better of the two I think, explains functional programming concepts very well with good examples, and then uses the same examples throughout to show how to better implement a solution as new concepts are introduced.
