You can still become a productive functional programmer by reading "Grokking Functional Programming"! I am honored the book has been featured on the Manning Publications bestseller list. 🏅 🎁If you are thinking about holiday gifts, the book is 50% off today! manning.com/books/grokking…

Ever called a function that didn't quite behave as expected? 😨⚠️ Worse, perhaps you've built a whole functionality around a misleading function that promised one thing and delivered another 💥 In FP, you construct functions with signatures that rarely, if ever, deceive!

Here's a myth new programmers believe in: ❌ A typical programmer's career consists mainly of writing code. ❌ The facts are different: we spend most of our time reading and maintaining someone else's code. Being able to read and understand code quickly is your superpower! 💪

🏷️Deal of the Day🛒 Why bother with functional programming? How about powerful & reliable programs? Michał Płachta will teach you the principles & advantages of #FP in a simple way: mng.bz/RvO0

Don't leak your `db` domain into your `core` domain Separate them, and your code will be more robust and easier/safer to evolve You'll not have to deal with `db` domain issues in your `core` domain, everything being isolated in your `db` domain I advise you to have 2 sbt

If you want to learn functional software architecture, don’t start with LEGO blocks, railways, or burritos. 🌯 Start with immutability. Ask yourself: can this feature be done exclusively using immutable values?

Working with different functional types causes a déjà vu, but in a good way. - Option has toRight ↔️ Either has toOption - Option has toList ↔️ List has headOption - Option has toValid ↔️ Validated has toOption Discovering these connections will help you write maintainable code

Dear Øredev! Thanks for joining my session. I enjoyed all the great discussions about functional goodies that solve real-world problems. You can find the slides and more info here: speakerdeck.com/miciek/immutab… #Oredev2023

See you at the Kraków Scala User group meetup in a week (29.02.2024)! We will discuss practical apps with Typelevel stack and serverless Scala Native. meetup.com/krakow-scala-u…

Most people using #Scala are happily and quietly shipping code, instead of looking left and right whether Scala is increasing/decreasing in popularity. If this quiet person is you, we need to hear more from you!

What most people don't get about books and courses.

Dear Scalar Conference! Check out Life At SiriusXM 's contest where you can win "Grokking Functional Programming" (or a Lego set 😅).

🎶 It's the final countdown 🎶 github.com/scalalandio/ch…

📣Deal of the Day📣 SAVE 45% on Grokking Functional Programming & selected titles: mng.bz/WrEx Michał Płachta This friendly, lively, and engaging guide lays out the principles of #functionalprogramming simply & concisely & will help you understand what #FP is all about.

Not sure why this book isn't more standard when people are asking how to learn FP. Even though it's examples are in Scala (no offense Michał Płachta) lol. I've been adapting them all to Haskell.
