: Explore functional programming and discover new ways of thinking about     :
: code. You know you need to master functional programming, but learning one :
: functional language is only the start. In this book, through articles draw :
: from PragPub magazine and articles written specifically for this book,     :
: you'll explore functional thinking and functional style and idioms across  :
: languages. Led by expert guides, you'll discover the distinct strengths an :
: approaches of Clojure, Elixir, Haskell, Scala, and Swift and learn which   :
: best suits your needs. Contributing authors: Rich Hickey, Stuart Halloway, :
: Aaron Bedra, Michael Bevilacqua-Linn, Venkat Subramaniam, Paul Callaghan,  :
: Jose Valim, Dave Thomas, Natasha Murashev, Tony Hillerson, Josh Chisholm,  :
: and Bruce Tate. Functional programming is on the rise because it lets you  :
: write simpler, cleaner code, and its emphasis on immutability makes it     :
: ideal for maximizing the benefits of multiple cores and distributed        :
: solutions. So far nobody's invented the perfect functional language - each :
: has its unique strengths. In Functional Programming: A PragPub Anthology,  :
: you'll investigate the philosophies, tools, and idioms of five different   :
: functional programming languages. See how Swift, the development language  :
: for iOS, encourages you to build highly scalable apps using functional     :
: techniques like map and reduce. Discover how Scala allows you to transitio :
: gently but deeply into functional programming without losing the benefits  :
: of the JVM, while with Lisp-based Clojure, you can plunge fully into the   :
: functional style. Learn about advanced functional concepts in Haskell, a   :
: pure functional language making powerful use of the type system with type  :
: inference and type classes. And see how functional programming is becoming :
: more elegant and friendly with Elixir, a new functional language built on  :
: the powerful Erlang base.The industry has been embracing functional        :
: programming more and more, driven by the need for concurrency and          :
: parallelism. This collection of articles will lead you to mastering the    :
: functional approach to problem solving. So put on your explorer's hat and  :
: prepare to be surprised. The goal of exploration is always discovery. What :
: You Need: Familiarity with one or more programming languages.              :
