Book Description	Leverage core functional programming (FP) concepts to write more maintainable and testable code in GoPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookKey Features: Learn functional programming techniques at the architectural level and use them to solve real-world problemsUnderstand how to think about code functionallyLearn about the trade-offs of functional programming and object-oriented programming (OOP) in GoBook Description: While Go is a multi-paradigm language that gives you the option to choose whichever paradigm works best for the particular problem you aim to solve, it supports features that enable you to apply functional principles in your code. In this book, you'll learn about concepts central to the functional programming paradigm and how and when to apply functional programming techniques in Go.Starting with the basic concepts of functional programming, this Golang book will help you develop a deeper understanding of first-class functions. In the subsequent chapters, you'll gain a more comprehensive view of the techniques and methods used in functional languages, such as function currying, partial application, and higher-order functions. You'll then be able to apply functional design patterns for solving common programming challenges and explore how to apply concurrency mechanisms to functional programming.By the end of this book, you'll be ready to improve your code bases by applying functional programming techniques in Go to write cleaner, safer, and bug-free code.What You Will Learn: Gain a deeper understanding of functional programming through practical examplesBuild a solid foundation in core FP concepts and see how they apply to Go codeDiscover how FP can improve the testability of your code baseApply functional design patterns for problem solvingUnderstand when to choose and not choose FP conceptsDiscover the benefits of functional programming when dealing with concurrent codeWho this book is for: If you are a Go engineer with a background in traditionally object-oriented languages such as Java or C++ and want to broaden your knowledge of functional programming, this book is for you.

About the Author	Dylan Meeus is a Software Engineer, with over a decade of experience in various functional and non-functional programming languages. He has used Go to develop systems in a variety of domains, from healthcare to frameworks for machine learning platforms and digital signal processing software. He developed a passion for Functional Programming when learning Haskell and applied this knowledge to traditionally non-functional languages like Java. Over the past several years, Dylan has been a speaker at various Go and Java-oriented conferences such as GopherCon and Devoxx.
