What Will I Learn?

• You will be able to write code that is easy to understand and almost self-documenting.
• You will be familiar with the background of functional programming, and understand the fundamental differences between functional and imperative solutions.
• You will be able to solve programming problems elegantly by composing functional tools only or mixing them with other paradigms.
• Because of their increased run-time safety, you will spend much less time debugging your real-world applications.
• You will be able to utilize multiple CPU cores to improve the performance of your applications.
• Your understanding of functional programming will help in other languages too. And it will expand your horizon regarding software engineering in general.

Requirements

• You should have some experience in programming with C++.
• Previous experience with functional programming is not necessary.
• A C++14-compatible compiler is needed.

Target audience

• This course is for all C++ developers (intermediate and advanced) who want to improve the quality of the C++ code they produce by learning about and applying functional programming principles.
