Functional programming is a paradigm specifically designed to deal with the complexity of software development in large projects. It helps developers to keep track of the interdependencies in the code base and changes in its state in runtime. Mastering Functional Programming provides detailed coverage of how to apply the right abstractions to reduce code complexity, so that it is easy to read and understand.Complete with explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, the book begins by covering the basics such as what lambdas are and how to write declarative code with the help of functions. It then moves on to concepts such as pure functions and type classes, the problems they aim to solve, and how to use them in real-world scenarios. You’ll also explore some of the more advanced patterns in the world of functional programming such as monad transformers and Tagless Final. In the concluding chapters, you’ll be introduced to the actor model, which you can implement in modern functional languages, and delve into parallel programming.By the end of the book, you will be able to apply the concepts of functional programming and object-oriented programming (OOP)in order to build robust applications.

Matematyczne szkiełko i oko. Mniej i bardziej poważne zastosowania matmy

Dariusz Laskowski

Nie ma litości, jest matematyka! Matematyka to potęga do potęgi Czy wiesz, że matematyka to nie czarna magia, tylko dowcip, inteligencja i odrobina tajemniczości w czystej formie? Tak, tak. To nie żadna ściema czy inna niewiadoma. Zamiast włączać telewizor albo odpalać kolejną gierkę w sieci, otwórz tę książkę. Dzięki odkryciom matematyki przekonasz się, jak można odpowiedzieć na niezwykle frapujące pytania z codziennego życia - także Twojego własnego. Ile liczb mieści się na końcu szpilki? Na czym polega geometria bazgrołów? Co język C++ ma wspólnego z ponętną Moniką? Ile kompotu można wypić, gdy pan Czesław ma kolonoskopię? I wreszcie wyższa szkoła jazdy: jak odkodować PIN do lodówki algorytmem spigot? Okazuje się, że nieznana kraina faktów, teorii, hipotez, przełomowych eksperymentów i odkryć, dowodów, pojęć i matematycznych idei to nic innego jak nasze życie. A w życiu, jak w matematyce - jeden błąd może popsuć wszystko. Lepiej więc wiedzieć więcej i spojrzeć w zagadkowe oczy matmy. Nie taki X straszny, jak go malują…
