Functional programming is transforming how we build robust, scalable, and maintainable software by prioritizing clarity and predictability. It emphasizes what to compute by defining expressions that map values to other values, and focuses on how to achieve a result through a sequence of statements that change program state.

This book explores core functional principles like immutability, pure functions, and referential transparency. You will gain a deep understanding of the mathematical underpinnings through category theory concepts like Functors and Monads, and then apply these practically using Scala functional features and leading libraries such as Cats and ZIO. The book also covers handling effects and I/O, advanced functional patterns, and using specialized tools to build functional web, database, and streaming solutions. With real examples and patterns, it shows how these ideas can simplify code, improve testability, and increase system resilience.

By the end of this book, you will have a theoretical understanding and practical proficiency in building high-quality, maintainable applications using functional programming in Scala.

What you will learn

● Implement Scala higher-order functions, currying, and Option/Either.

● Understand Functors, Monads, and their category theory relevance.

● Utilize Cats type classes for extensible functional programming.

● Build scalable applications using FP patterns.

● Manage side-effects and I/O functionally using effect systems.

● Real-world use of functional programming.

Who this book is for

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
