Making Your C# 7 Code More Functional

via Pluralsight

Overview

With lots of new functional syntax in C#, programmers may struggle to find proper place for it in their notoriously object-oriented code. This course unveils the mystery and puts OO and functional design elements in the right proportion. Start learning from Pluralsight by taking this beginners course today!

Mixing paradigms in modern C# is not an easy endeavor. New functional syntax has its place, but not in every piece of code and every design. In this course, Making Your C# 7 Code More Functional, you will first learn how functional thinking can have positive effect on your software design, while still letting the design remain on the object-oriented side. Next, you will discover how you can leverage new functional syntax to solve problems which are hard to solve using pure object-oriented techniques. Finally, more than anything else, you will have the opportunity to see where the danger of misusing functional coding style lies in object-oriented code. By the end of this course, you should feel comfortable about functional thinking style in object-oriented code, for the better of your designs.
