This book will get you there.Functional programming offers useful techniques for building maintainable and scalable software that solves today's difficult problems. Elixir's straightforward syntax and this guided tour give you a clean, simple path to learn modern functional programming techniques. Combine functions and handle failures in a maintainable way using Elixir features and libraries.Learn techniques that matter to make code that lives harmoniously with the language.What You Need:You'll need a computer and Elixir 1.4 or newer version installed. Explore how to use lazy computation with streams, design your data, and take advantage of polymorphism with protocols. Improve code reusability and readability with Elixir's most common high-order functions. Next, take a deep look at values, expressions, functions, and modules. Work with data types such as lists, tuples, and maps. The demand for software written in this way is increasing - you don't want to miss out. Don't board the Elixir train with an imperative mindset! To get the most out of functional languages, you need to think functionally. No previous functional programming experience required! This book walks you through the right concepts at the right pace, as you explore immutable values and explicit data transformation, functions, modules, recursive functions, pattern matching, high-order functions, polymorphism, and failure handling, all while avoiding side effe
