Learn how to leverage core functional programming (FP) concepts to write more maintainable and testable code in Go.

Key Features

Learn functional programming techniques at the architectural level, and use the lessons learned to solve real-world problems.
Get a deeper understanding of how to think functionally about code.
Go is a multi-paradigm language, learn about the tradeoffs of FP and OOP.

Book Description

In Functional Programming with Go, you will learn the essential concepts of functional programming. Go is a multi-paradigm language that gives us the option to choose whichever paradigm works best for the particular problem we aim to solve. In this book, you will learn concepts central to the functional programming paradigm and how to leverage them to improve your Go codebases.

The book starts by explaining common concepts of functional programming and how to apply these to your codebase, even if you dont fully buy into the functional mindset. The subsequent chapters of the book will build out a more comprehensive view of techniques and methods used in functional languages, such as Function Currying and Partial Application. We will develop this further into functional design patterns. Examples will be given throughout the book to show each concept in action.

By the end of this book, not only will you know how to apply these techniques in Go, but you will also know when to apply them.

Book Description

While Go is a multi-paradigm language that gives you the option to choose whichever paradigm works best for the particular problem you aim to solve, it supports features that enable you to apply functional principles in your code. In this book, youll learn about concepts central to the functional programming paradigm and how and when to apply functional programming techniques in Go.

Starting with the basic concepts of functional programming, this Golang book will help you develop a deeper understanding of first-class functions. In the subsequent chapters, youll gain a more comprehensive view of the techniques and methods used in functional languages, such as function currying, partial application, and higher-order functions. Youll then be able to apply functional design patterns for solving common programming challenges and explore how to apply concurrency mechanisms to functional programming.

By the end of this book, youll be ready to improve your code bases by applying functional programming techniques in Go to write cleaner, safer, and bug-free code.

What you will learn

Gain a deeper understanding of functional programming through practical examples
Build a solid foundation in core FP concepts and see how they apply to Go code
Discover how FP can improve the testability of your code base
Apply functional design patterns for problem solving
Understand when to choose and not choose FP concepts
Discover the benefits of functional programming when dealing with concurrent code
