So the way I've approached this is to report on three things I've noticed during my transition from mostly-Java to Scala, and consequently I'm not sure how much of this is really about functional programming. In what way is functional programming new and how can we use it? This article will go through the details of functional programming; concepts, terms, approaches, and languages. Interface IFace { string In C#, an interface is one way to deal with this; but that seems like a very object-oriented approach. I started to read up on functional design approaches and found it fun and interesting, and it lead to a more satisfactory solution. Learn some functional programming through use of Scala, as contrasted with Java. Car Talk Puzzler #2: What do these words have in common? For well over a year, John Liao's Blog has been tackling chapters from my WPF book Applications = Code + Markup and converting the code into F#, the functional programming language developed at Microsoft. Really, the only barrier to a process-oriented approach in that case would be memory, and that may not actually be a limitation at all. And for about I'd had some taste of functional approaches with javascript and ruby, but this was an order of magnitude better. However, I thought this was an imperative approach to coding? Recent threads on the Higher Order Perl mailing list discussed a particular tasks for which Perl's functional programming techniques make an easier solution than the obvious object-oriented approach. Maybe I've not learned enough about functional programming, but it doesn't seem functional to me. F# inventor Don Syme has provided a convenient guide to John Liao's Guy Cousineau's (co-author of "The Functional Approach to Programming"), "Tiling as a programming exercise". Have you heard about functional programming but not sure what all the fuss is about? Since then, I've really began to see the expressive powers that functional programming provides. If I want to program in a "functional" style, with what would I replace an interface? Chief among these languages or programming approaches is functional programming.
