IntelliFactory / Understanding Functional Programming

Please RSVP for instructions on how to join the event.

Description

This course transitions the experienced object-oriented programmer to functional programming. The fundamentals of both F# and functional programming are covered in depth.

What you will learn

  1. Programming with Immutable Data and Data Structures
  2. The F# Type System
  3. How to Leverage Higher Order Functions
  4. List/Sequence Processing Techniques
  5. Methodology for Handling State Changes
