Grokking Functional Programming

Grokking Functional Programming is a practical book. Written especially for object-oriented programmers, it will help you map familiar ideas like objects and inheritance to FP concepts such as programming with immutable data, higher order functions, composing functions, concurrent programming and even the dreaded monad. And you’ll be pleased to know that we skip the academic baggage of lambda calculus, category theory, and the mathematical foundations of FP in favor of applying functional programming to everyday programming tasks. At the end of the book, you’ll be ready to pick a functional language and start writing useful software.
