Software development today is embracing functional programming
(FP), whether it's for writing concurrent programs or for managing
Big Data. Where does that leave Java developers? This concise book
offers a pragmatic, approachable introduction to FP for Java
developers or anyone who uses an object-oriented language.
Dean Wampler, Java expert and author of "Programming Scala"
(O'Reilly), shows you how to apply FP principles such as
immutability, avoidance of side-effects, and higher-order functions
to your Java code. Each chapter provides exercises to help you
practice what you've learned. Once you grasp the benefits of
functional programming, you'll discover that it improves all of the
code you write.Learn basic FP principles and apply them to
object-oriented programming Discover how FP is more concise and
modular than OOP Get useful FP lessons for your Java type
design--such as avoiding nulls Design data structures and
algorithms using functional programming principles Write concurrent
programs using the Actor model and software transactional memory
Use functional libraries and frameworks for Java--and learn where
to go next to deepen your functional programming skills
