Functional Programming Projects with Python 3: Write More Robust, Readable Code
with Shaun Wassell
Closed Captioning available in English
Overview
4+ Hours of Video Instruction
In learning and following the core concepts of Functional Programming, you can quickly write more maintainable, flexible, and beautiful code.
Functional Programming is a revolutionary way of writing code that’s rapidly gaining traction in the world of software development. While Object-Oriented Programming is still the most popular programming paradigm, there are a number of problems that come about when using it—hard-to-find bugs, tightly coupled code, and it’s difficult to scale. Functional programming allows us to solve or avoid these problems by taking a different approach to writing software.
In this course, you will learn about the core concepts of Functional Programming and how to apply them in Python, through a mix of screen casting, slides, and coding. It also covers basic functional concepts that lead to first class functions, which leads to working with arrays and objects and then advanced functional concepts.
