Writing Purely Functional Code in C# 7
Offered By: Pluralsight
Course Description
Overview
Sign up to become a master of multi-paradigm C# programming! Writing pure functional code in C# creates better business applications that are easier to maintain.
At the core of the latest C# language enhancements is a thorough knowledge of functional concepts applied to an object-oriented framework. In this course, Writing Purely Functional Code in C# 7, you’ll learn how to blend principles of functional programming into the plain C# code. First, you’ll learn what makes the distinction between pure functional and object-oriented code. Next, you’ll explore syntax and coding practices that will allow you to write pure functional code in C#. Finally, you’ll discover what makes this coding style better when compared to traditional object-oriented programming. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a foundational knowledge of functional programming in native object-oriented languages, which will help you as you move forward to writing shorter and cleaner business applications which are easier to maintain in the long run.
