This is the most important chapter of this book since we will create a new application using a functional approach. We have already discussed functional programming in depth in the previous chapters, including functional programming concepts, Language Integrated Query (LINQ), recursion, optimizing, and patterns.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
Creating a Windows forms application
Exploring how to create a form and then add the code to it
Creating engine code in an imperative approach
Transform the engine code from an imperative...
