Introductory workshop on functional programming principles and techniques. Topics to cover: - why functional? — parallelism — raised level of abstraction — less mental strain (less state) - coming from OOP — functional interfaces (strategies) → functions — no getters and setters — naked data — no control structures (if, for, Maybe-monad, Error-monad) - pure functions (referential transparency) - first-class function VS. higher-order function VS. lambda expression VS. closure - immutable data structures - immutable collections - filter/map/reduce - Groovy basic syntax - Groovy collection operations (findAll/collect/inject) - take/drop - function composition (<<) - zip (transpose) - currying - head/tail and recursion (e.g. to implement filtering without ifs and loops) - memoization - lazy evaluation and lazy collections - infinite structures.
