All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such problems for decades.

"Correlation does not imply causation". This mantra has been invoked by scientists for decades and has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. But today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, sparked by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed causality - the study of cause and effect - on a firm scientific basis.

In 1912, at the height of World War I, brilliant Shakespeare expert Elizebeth Smith went to work for an eccentric tycoon on his estate outside Chicago. The tycoon had close ties to the US government, and he soon asked Elizebeth to apply her language skills to an exciting new venture: code breaking. There she met the man who would become her husband, groundbreaking cryptologist William Friedman. Though she and Friedman are in many ways the Adam and Eve of the NSA, Elizebeth's story, incredibly, has never been told.

At first slow but grows and becomes stupendous
- By Donald A. Rauh M.D.,Ph.D. on 10-14-17
Publisher's Summary
Functional Programming in Scala is a serious tutorial for programmers looking to learn FP and apply it to the everyday business of coding. The audiobook guides listeners from basic techniques to advanced topics in a logical, concise, and clear progression. In it, you'll find concrete examples and exercises that open up the world of functional programming.
Functional programming (FP) is a style of software development emphasizing functions that don't depend on program state. Functional code is easier to test and reuse, simpler to parallelize, and less prone to bugs than other code. Scala is an emerging JVM language that offers strong support for FP. Its familiar syntax and transparent interoperability with Java make Scala a great place to start learning FP.
This audiobook assumes no prior experience with functional programming. Some prior exposure to Scala or Java is helpful.
What's inside:
- Functional programming concepts
- The whys and hows of FP
- How to write multicore programs
- Checks for understanding
Paul Chiusano and Rúnar Bjarnason are recognized experts in functional programming with Scala and are core contributors to the Scalaz library.
Table of contents:
Part one. Introduction to Functional Programming
- What is functional programming?
- Getting started with functional programming in Scala
- Functional data structures
- Handling errors without exceptions
- Strictness and laziness
- Purely functional state
Part two. Functional Design and Combinator Libraries
- Purely functional parallelism
- Property-based testing
- Parser combinators
Part three. Common Structures in Functional Design
- Monoids
- Monads
- Applicative and traversable functors
Part four. Effects and I/O
- External effects and I/O
- Local effects and mutable state
- Stream processing and incremental I/O
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
