It introduces a unique approach to functional programming that explains why certain features of software are prone to complexity, and teaches you the functional techniques you can use to simplify these systems so that they're easier to test and debug. <p/> Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. <p/> <b>About the technology</b><br> Developers rightly fear the unintended complexity that infects most code. This book shows you how to write software that keeps complexity close to its inherent minimum. As you write software you should distinguish between code that alters your system's state, and code that does not. Once you learn to make that distinction, you can refactor much of your state-altering "actions" into stateless "calculations." Your software will be simpler. <p/> <b>About the book</b><br> The book also teaches you to solve the complex timing bugs that inevitably creep into asynchronous and multithreaded code. In advanced sections of the book you learn how composable abstractions help avoid repeating code and open up new levels of expressivity. <p/> <b>What's inside</b><br> Patterns for simpler code<br> Powerful time modeling approaches to simplify asynchronous code<br> How higher-order functions can make code reusable and composable <p/> <b>About the reader</b><br> For intermediate and advanced developers building complex software. Exercises, illustrations, self-assessments, and hands-on examples lock in each new idea. <p/> <b>About the author</b><br> <b>Eric Normand</b> is an expert software developer who has been an influential teacher of functional programming since 2007. <p/> <b>Table of Contents</b><br> 1 Welcome to Grokking Simplicity<br> 2 Functional thinking in action<br> PART 1 - ACTIONS, CALCULATIONS, AND DATA<br> 3 Distinguishing actions, calculations, and data<br> 4 Extracting calculations from actions<br> 5 Improving the design of actions<br> 6 Staying immutable in a mutable language<br> 7 Staying immutable with untrusted code<br> 8 Stratified design, part 1<br> 9 Stratified design, part 2<br> PART 2 - FIRST-CLASS ABSTRACTIONS<br> 10 First-class functions, part 1<br> 11 First-class functions, part 2<br> 12 Functional iteration<br> 13 Chaining functional tools<br> 14 Functional tools for nested data<br> 15 Isolating timelines<br> 16 Sharing resources between timelines<br> 17 Coordinating timelines<br> 18 Reactive and onion architectures<br> 19 The functional journey ahead<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Eric Normand</b> has been a functional programmer since 2001 and has been teaching functional programming online and in person since 2007.
