Functional C#

Overview of this book

Functional programming makes your application faster, improves performance, and increases your productivity. C# code is written at a higher level of abstraction, so that code will be closer to business requirements, abstracting away many low-level implementation details. This book bridges the language gap for C# developers by showing you how to create and consume functional constructs in C#. We also bridge the domain gap by showing how functional constructs can be applied in business scenarios. We’ll take you through lambda expressions and extension methods, and help you develop a deep understanding of the concepts and practices of LINQ and recursion in C#. By the end of the book, you will be able to write code using the best approach and will be able to perform unit testing in functional programming, changing how you write your applications and revolutionizing your projects.

Preface

Summary


We successfully built a calculator application in Windows forms. We also refactored the imperative code into a functional approach. We created some extension methods to solve all refactoring processes so they can be functional.

In the next chapter, we will discuss code with best practices in the functional approach and perform a unit test for the application we built in this chapter.
