The Art of Functional Programming Review: Gentle guide to functional programming. - Well written. Easy understanding. Nice exercises. Review: It's one of the best programming books - I attempted to learn functional programming several times but never went that far. There were many questions about the functional paradigm that I couldn't understand. For example, why can't I declare a variable and update it when writing a program? I want to formulate an algorithm that loops over an index, and surprisingly functional programming languages do not have loops. Why is that? And how can functional programming help me in my daily job? In this excellent book, I have finally found convincing answers to all those questions and much more. I like how the author regularly explains the "why" behind the concepts. I also like how the author shows the connection between functional programming and other areas, such as the Unix philosophy (do it once and do it well) and data flow programming. Overall, I've had many aha! moments thanks to the book. I highly recommend this book to any software engineer who wants to truly understand the essence of functional programming and wants to apply it to solve programming problems. I suggest reading this book even if you don't use functional programming. The reason is it contains lots of valuable insights about programming languages, techniques for abstraction, and composition that are universally valuable to any software engineer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #261,721 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Functional Software Programming #160 in Computer Programming Languages #1,069 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (52) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.64 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 3000735348 | | ISBN-13 | 978-3000735349 | | Item Weight | 15.1 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 284 pages | | Publication date | September 27, 2022 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![The Art of Functional Programming - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oDqMnuCoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gentle guide to functional programming. *by J***F on April 4, 2025* Well written.
