If you've worked on a team who struggled with lots of bugs and maintainability issues, I have a book for you! 📖

You will learn how to use functional programming techniques to create bulletproof and readable codebases. ✨

➡️ Check it out: https://t.co/3y5O5YaS5J @ManningBooks

@lukasz_bialy Do you mean the writing style that screams "I am very smart and I know it all"? The style that buries good arguments in piles of gatekeeper vulgarisms?

[Travis Montoya @travgmont]

Not sure why this book isn't more standard when people are asking how to learn FP. Even though it's examples are in Scala (no offense @miciek) lol. I've been adapting them all to Haskell.

@kazueeee_ @helloyuki_ It touches similar topics but from different perspectives. Make sure to check it out as well @kazueeee_ @helloyuki_

Dear @scalarconf! Check out @siriusxmlife 's contest where you can win "Grokking Functional Programming" (or a Lego set 😅).

@Krever01 But is the company really better off with the latter?

What most people don't get about books and courses.

[Rock the JVM @rockthejvm]

Most people using #Scala are happily and quietly shipping code, instead of looking left and right whether Scala is increasing/decreasing in popularity.

If this quiet person is you, we need to hear more from you!

[Szymon Rodziewicz @SimonrDev]

See you at the Kraków Scala User group meetup in a week (29.02.2024)! We will discuss practical apps with Typelevel stack and serverless Scala Native.

Dear @oredev! Thanks for joining my session. I enjoyed all the great discussions about functional goodies that solve real-world problems. You can find the slides and more info here: https://t.co/vc9dyn0Gh1 #Oredev2023

Working with different functional types causes a déjà vu, but in a good way.

- Option has toRight ↔️ Either has toOption
- Option has toList ↔️ List has headOption
- Option has toValid ↔️ Validated has toOption

Discovering these connections will help you write maintainable code

[Michał Płachta @miciek]

If you want to learn functional software architecture, don’t start with LEGO blocks, railways, or burritos. 🌯

Start with immutability. Ask yourself: can this feature be done exclusively using immutable values?

[ACM Education & Learning Center @acmeducation]

Now available for ACM members: "Grokking Functional Programming," by @miciek. This book starts w/the familiar ideas of OOP & introduces FP to imperative developers step-by-step using relevant examples, engaging exercises, & lots of illustrations. https://t.co/YMKwb0QaBi

[Michał Płachta @miciek]

You can still become a productive functional programmer by reading "Grokking Functional Programming"!

I am honored the book has been featured on the @ManningBooks bestseller list. 🏅

Here's a myth new programmers believe in:
❌ A typical programmer's career consists mainly of writing code. ❌

The facts are different: we spend most of our time reading and maintaining someone else's code.

Being able to read and understand code quickly is your superpower! 💪
