About
Functional programming languages like F#, Erlang and Scala are, attracting attention as an efficient way to handle the new requirements for programming multi-processor and high-availability applications. Microsoft's new F# is a true functional language and C# uses functional language features for LINQ and other recent advances.
Real-World Functional Programming is, a unique tutorial that explores the functional, programming model, through the F# and C# languages. The clearly presented ideas and examples teach readers how functional programming differs from other approaches. It explains how ideas look in F#-a functional language, as well as, how they can be, successfully used to solve programming problems in C#. Readers build on what they know about.NET and learn where a functional approach makes the most sense and how to apply it effectively in those cases.
The reader should have a good working knowledge of C#. No prior exposure to F# or functional programming is required.
