Functional Programming with C#

Part 1:Foundations of Functional Programming in C#

In this first part, we lay the groundwork for understanding functional programming. We’ll start by introducing the core concepts of functional programming and how they apply to C#. You’ll learn about the crucial distinction between expressions and statements, and how to write more expressive code. We’ll then explore pure functions and how to minimize side effects, which are fundamental to functional programming. Finally, we’ll discuss honest functions and effective ways to handle null values, setting the stage for more robust code design.

This part has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Getting Started with Functional Programming
  • Chapter 2, Expressions and Statements
  • Chapter 3, Pure Functions and Side Effects
  • Chapter 4, Honest Functions, Null, and Option

Key benefits

  • Master functional programming in C# for expressive, modular code
  • Apply advanced concepts such as error handling and asynchronous programming to overcome real-world challenges
  • Gain practical coding skills through practical application and self-assessment questions
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Description

In 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 journey 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 learn 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 journey 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.

Who is this book for?

This 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.

What you will learn

  • Understand the core principles of functional programming
  • Differentiate functional, imperative, and OOP paradigms
  • Write expressive code with higher-order functions
  • Handle errors effectively using functional techniques
  • Utilize asynchronous programming for concurrent tasks
  • Grasp advanced concepts, such as recursion and memoization
