Functional-style programming with a practical guide

Functional Programming in Scala is a professional book focused on functional programming in the Scala language. It presents the principles and practices commonly used in the functional approach and shows how to apply them when writing clearer and more maintainable code.

The book is suitable for readers who want to learn the basics of functional programming in Scala, as well as for programmers who want to deepen their understanding of selected concepts and techniques. Scala, as a multiparadigm language, combines object-oriented and functional approaches. The publication covers topics such as immutability, higher-order functions, recursion, and working with types.

With examples and explanations, the book provides a comprehensive view of the functional style in Scala and can serve as study material for learning as well as inspiration for your own solutions. It addresses a combination of theory and practical demonstrations intended to help with understanding the covered principles.
