A GOOD APPROACH TO FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING: Examples in Python

by Leonel Peña

In this book we will see, as its name indicates, the fundamental concepts of Functional Programming and we will analyze some functions with examples in Python. First, it should be clarified that it is not the objective of this book to deepen or teach about Python, but rather to know the fundamental concepts of Functional Programming and see examples of it in this programming language. We will observe the advantages, disadvantages and characteristics of this paradigm and we will see the Principles of Functional Programming with examples of lambda, closures, filter, map, reduce. We will also see the languages that support it and the relationship between this paradigm and Object-Oriented Programming. You don't need to know about it. This book provides basic concepts, for beginners, on Functional Programming. It is not essential that you have previous knowledge or in Functional Programming, although it is necessary that you have some knowledge of computer science and programming in general (if it is Python better), since no explanation of Fundamentals of Programming will be provided. One of my goals here is that you stop seeing Functional Programming as a "rare" concept, which does not suit you and that among that range of tools available, you can find some especially useful to be able to use it with almost any language you know. If you come from another programming paradigm (such as OOP) it could be a useful material for your knowledge.

About the author

Hola!

Hice la carrera de Ingeniería de Software pero mi hobby siempre fue escribir. Sin embargo, lo hacía para mí mismo, sin mostrarle a nadie mis historias.

Me gusta escribir libros del género thriller, suspenso policial, paranormales y psicológicos así como cuentos fantásticos para niños y que tengan alguna moraleja o enseñanza.

Prefiero contar historias no muy tediosas, con un lenguaje directo y simple, que entretengan al lector y que se puedan leer en una o dos tardes.

Mis primeras lecturas fueron la serie "Elige tu propia aventura" y "La vuelta al mundo en 80 días" de Julio Verne.

Nací en Buenos Aires y vivo en Chicago, USA, desde 2019.
