You’ve learned a fair amount about the functional programming paradigm’s foray into general purpose imperative progamming languages (LINQ, Lambda’s, etc in C# and VB.NET). And, of course, the newest language to join the Visual Studio family of languages, F#, is a functional language. You’ve heard us say how important functional language constructs are to the our current languages’ capabilities to evolve in the right direction to meet the needs of the many-core future (the need for reliable and comprehensible concurrency, parallelism, etc) and, most importantly, to help vault computer programming into an age of compositionality (remember our talks on 9 regarding composability and evolution of software engineering as an engineering discipline?). Well, we decided to take a step back and teach you the fundamentals of functional programming at a level equivalent to any university. We even have a text book and professor who will expand our minds.
In this first video, Dr. Meijer takes us through the fundamental fundamentals of functional programming: The philosophy and history of functional programming. As you can imagine, these lectures will go deeper and deeper as the chapters progress, but you need to understand the philosophical and historical contexts. This will provide a nice layer of fresh conceptual soil in which to plant the seeds of understanding the technical details of functional programming, of function
