Course Overview

Functional programming is a paradigm that emphasizes expressing program logic as compositions of pure functions. PHP is a good fit for functional programming as functions are first-class citizens in its userland. This course introduces you to the core concepts of functional programming, like pure functions, immutable data structures, and referential transparency. From there, you'll explore ways to handle errors with default values and callbacks while also exploring sum types such as Either or Maybe. Next,...Show More
