Learning Functional Programming in Go

4.1 (8)
By: Sheehan

Overview of this book

Lex Sheehan begins slowly, using easy-to-understand illustrations and working Go code to teach core functional programming (FP) principles such as referential transparency, laziness, recursion, currying, and chaining continuations. This book is a tutorial for programmers looking to learn FP and apply it to write better code. Lex guides readers from basic techniques to advanced topics in a logical, concise, and clear progression. The book is divided into four modules. The first module explains the functional style of programming: pure functional programming, manipulating collections, and using higher-order functions. In the second module, you will learn design patterns that you can use to build FP-style applications. In the next module, you will learn FP techniques that you can use to improve your API signatures, increase performance, and build better cloud-native applications. The last module covers Category Theory, Functors, Monoids, Monads, Type classes and Generics. By the end of the book, you will be adept at building applications the FP way.

SOLID design principles

The SOLID design principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) apply to designing Go software solutions.

Single responsibility principle

Single responsibility principle says, Do One Thing and Do It WellWe see the SRP at play in the Go standard libraries. Here're a few examples:

If a pull request enhances the aes/crypto package, would you expect that code merge to affect the functionality of the database/sql/driver package (or any package)? No. Of course not. Each package is clearly name spaced and highly cohesive; they perform specific tasks and do not cross over into other concerns

"A class should have one, and only one, reason to change."
