About this Item

Neuware - SummaryFunctional Programming in C++ teaches developers the practical side of functional programming and the tools that C++ provides to develop software in the functional style. This in-depth guide is full of useful diagrams that help you understand FP concepts and begin to think functionally.Purchase of the print book includes a free Elektronisches Buch in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyWell-written code is easier to test and reuse, simpler to parallelize, and less error prone. Mastering the functional style of programming can help you tackle the demands of modern apps and will lead to simpler expression of complex program logic, graceful error handling, and elegant concurrency. C++ supports FP with templates, lambdas, and other core language features, along with many parts of the STL.About the BookFunctional Programming in C++ helps you unleash the functional side of your brain, as you gain a powerful new perspective on C++ coding. You'll discover dozens of examples, diagrams, and illustrations that break down the functional concepts you can apply in C++, including lazy evaluation, function objects and invokables, algebraic data types, and more. As you read, you'll match FP techniques with practical scenarios where they offer the most benefit.What's insideWriting safer code with no performance penaltiesExplicitly handling errors through the type systemExtending C++ with new control structuresComposing tasks with DSLsAbout the ReaderWritten for developers with two or more years of experience coding in C++.About the AuthorIvan Cukic is a core developer at KDE and has been coding in C++ since 1998.

About this title

Synopsis:

Functional programming is becoming a required skill for all
programmers, and for good reason. The functional style of
programming lets developers to write more concise code, which tends
to have fewer bugs.

Functional Programming in C++ teaches developers the practical side
of functional programming and what tools C++ provides to develop
software in the functional style.

 

KEY FEATURES
• Practical-guide
• Hands-on examples
• Step-by-step instructions

This book is for developers who have worked professionally with C++
for 2 or more years.

 

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY
Broadly speaking, Functional Programming is a style of programming
where the main programming building blocks are functions, as
opposed to objects and procedures.
