About this title

Synopsis

DESCRIPTION

Functional programming is a deep and potentially mind-bending

discipline. Fortunately, Java developers don't have to master every

aspect of FP to get a big boost in the performance, readability, and

maintainability of their applications. By learning a few core FP

principles, they can write code that's less prone to side effects and

unwanted dependencies and which is much better suited to the parallel

processing required by modern multi-core and distributed systems. Also,

because units of functional code are designed to be modular and

independent, FP reduces or eliminates many of the bugs development

teams routinely face when managing a large codebase.

Functional Programming in Java teaches Java developers how to

incorporate the most powerful benefits of functional programming into

new and existing Java code. Written to meet the needs of professional

Java developers who want to introduce functional programming

principles into new and legacy projects, this book uses examples,

exercises, and illustrations to teach core FP principles such as referential

transparency, immutability, persistence, and laziness. They’ll discover

which of the new functionally-inspired features of Java 8 will help in

applying FP principles to code―as well as which to avoid. In the end,

they’ll be able to think functionally about coding tasks in Java and use

FP to make their applications easier to understand, optimize, maintain,

and scale.

KEY FEATURES

• Increases productivity

• Easy to grasp examples and illustrations

• Written for professional Java developers

AUDIENCE

Readers need to be comfortable with Java programming. No previous

experience with functional programming is required.

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

Functional programming is gaining momentum, mainly through adoption of

new languages such as Scala, Clojure or Groovy, and through the new

popularity of older languages such as Haskell or Erlang. And functional

programming is coming to Java 8 with the addition of features such as

lambda expressions, and Streams.

If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
