Bring the power of functional programming to Swift to develop
clean, smart, scalable and reliable applications. About This Book *
Written for the latest version of Swift, this is a comprehensive
guide that introduces iOS, Web and macOS developers to the all-new
world of functional programming that has so far been alien to them
* Get familiar with using functional programming alongside existing
OOP techniques so you can get the best of both worlds and develop
clean, robust, and scalable code * Develop a case study on example
backend API with Swift and Vapor Framework and an iOS application
with Functional Programming, Protocol-Oriented Programming,
Functional Reactive Programming, and Object-Oriented Programming
techniques Who This Book Is For Meant for a reader who knows
object-oriented programming, has some experience with
Objective-C/Swift programming languages and wants to further
enhance his skills with functional programming techniques with
Swift 3.x. What You Will Learn * Understand what functional
programming is and why it matters * Understand custom operators,
function composition, currying, recursion, and memoization *
Explore algebraic data types, pattern matching, generics,
associated type protocols, and type erasure * Get acquainted with
higher-kinded types and higher-order functions using practical
examples * Get familiar with functional and non-functional ways to
deal with optionals * Make use of functional data structures such
as semigroup, monoid, binary search tree, linked list, stack, and
lazy list * Understand the importance of immutability, copy
constructors, and lenses * Develop a backend API with Vapor *
Create an iOS app by combining FP, OOP, FRP, and POP paradigms In
Detail Swift is a multi-paradigm programming language enabling you
to tackle different problems in various ways. Understanding each
paradigm and knowing when and how to utilize and combine them can
lead to a better code base. Functional programming (FP) is an
important paradigm that empowers us with declarative development
and makes applications more suitable for testing, as well as
performant and elegant. This book aims to simplify the FP
paradigms, making them easily understandable and usable, by showing
you how to solve many of your day-to-day development problems using
Swift FP. It starts with the basics of FP, and you will go through
all the core concepts of Swift and the building blocks of FP. You
will also go through important aspects, such as function
composition and currying, custom operator definition, monads,
functors, applicative functors,memoization, lenses, algebraic data
types, type erasure, functional data structures, functional
reactive programming (FRP), and protocol-oriented programming(POP).
You will then learn to combine those techniques to develop a fully
functional iOS application from scratch Style and approach An
easy-to-follow guide that is full of hands-on coding examples of
real-world applications. Each topic is explained sequentially and
placed in context, and for the more inquisitive, there are more
details of the concepts used. It introduces the Swift language
basics and functional programming techniques in simple,
non-mathematical vocabulary with examples in Swift.
