If you've worked on a team who struggled with lots of bugs and maintainability issues, I have a book for you! 📖 You will learn how to use functional programming techniques to create bulletproof and readable codebases. ✨ ➡️ Check it out: manning.com/books/grokking… @ManningBooks

@lukasz_bialy Do you mean the writing style that screams "I am very smart and I know it all"? The style that buries good arguments in piles of gatekeeper vulgarisms?

I enjoyed this blogpost a lot: ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-fu… Is this style of writing acceptable nowadays or is this level of, ahem, directness a bit too much? I mean, it would be perfectly fine on 4chan /g/, but that's not a place normal people go.

Not sure why this book isn't more standard when people are asking how to learn FP. Even though it's examples are in Scala (no offense @miciek) lol. I've been adapting them all to Haskell.

📣Deal of the Day📣 SAVE 45% on Grokking Functional Programming & selected titles: mng.bz/WrEx @miciek This friendly, lively, and engaging guide lays out the principles of #functionalprogramming simply & concisely & will help you understand what #FP is all about.

🎶 It's the final countdown 🎶 github.com/scalalandio/ch…

@kazueeee_ @helloyuki_ It touches similar topics but from different perspectives. Make sure to check it out as well @kazueeee_ @helloyuki_

@helloyuki_ ありがとうございます！カバー似てるだけで判断してしまいました… たしかにタイトルも著者も全然違いますね😅

この本読んでるけどすごくいい。関数型プログラミングの入門書だとは思う。 目の前の事象をAction、Calculation、Dataの3つに分類してひとつひとつ片付ける。ビジネス要求にどう応えていくか？をしっかり議論しながら進めていく感じが個人的には好みだな🙌🏻 また、コードはJavaScriptで記述されるので、いわゆる関数型言語じゃなきゃ関数型プログラミングはできないのでは…？という疑念も払拭できている。 目玉はStratified Designのあたりだと思うので、引き続き読み進めたい。邦訳してもらえると同僚とかに薦めやすくなって◎かも Grokking Simplicity: Taming complex software with functional thinking amazon.co.jp/Grokking-Simpl…

Dear @scalarconf! Check out @siriusxmlife 's contest where you can win "Grokking Functional Programming" (or a Lego set 😅).

@Krever01 But is the company really better off with the latter?

I think there are two types of job applications: people who want a job and people who want the job. The latter are much more likely to succeed.

What most people don't get about books and courses.

Most people using #Scala are happily and quietly shipping code, instead of looking left and right whether Scala is increasing/decreasing in popularity. If this quiet person is you, we need to hear more from you!

See you at the Kraków Scala User group meetup in a week (29.02.2024)! We will discuss practical apps with Typelevel stack and serverless Scala Native. meetup.com/krakow-scala-u…

Dear @oredev! Thanks for joining my session. I enjoyed all the great discussions about functional goodies that solve real-world problems. You can find the slides and more info here: speakerdeck.com/miciek/immutab… #Oredev2023

Working with different functional types causes a déjà vu, but in a good way. - Option has toRight ↔️ Either has toOption - Option has toList ↔️ List has headOption - Option has toValid ↔️ Validated has toOption Discovering these connections will help you write maintainable code

If you want to learn functional software architecture, don’t start with LEGO blocks, railways, or burritos. 🌯 Start with immutability. Ask yourself: can this feature be done exclusively using immutable values?

Now available for ACM members: "Grokking Functional Programming," by @miciek. This book starts w/the familiar ideas of OOP & introduces FP to imperative developers step-by-step using relevant examples, engaging exercises, & lots of illustrations. bit.ly/43Xvnzp

You can still become a productive functional programmer by reading "Grokking Functional Programming"! I am honored the book has been featured on the @ManningBooks bestseller list. 🏅 🎁If you are thinking about holiday gifts, the book is 50% off today! manning.com/books/grokking…

Here's a myth new programmers believe in: ❌ A typical programmer's career consists mainly of writing code. ❌ The facts are different: we spend most of our time reading and maintaining someone else's code. Being able to read and understand code quickly is your superpower! 💪

Why teach Scala? (Or: Why teach with Scala?) This page explains it really well, with a number of insightful comments by experienced faculty: scala-lang.org/teach.html If you also teach Scala, add your name here: github.com/scala/scala-la…
