Talk - Introduction to Functional Programming

Slides: pdf, Repository: gitlab

Today I’ll be giving a talk introducing the notion of functional programming. It tries to cover the fundamentals and to give listeners a working knowledge of terminology and ideas used therein.

Some of the things I cover:

• Representative languages
• Expressions
• Immutability
• Functions
• Referential transparency
  • With definitions for effects, idempotency, and purity
• Types (errors, sums, products)
• Higher-order functions
  • map
  • filter
  • foldr
  • compose
• Challenges
• Making FP yours: breadcrumbs for the curious
• Additional resources

I used Haskell as a medium.

I hope these materials are useful to you, Happy viewing!
