Since I’ve written two functional programming (FP) books, I thought it might help to provide a comparison of them.
The short story is that both FP books have “limited technical jargon,” and as shown, The Little FP Book essentially has one purpose, which is to help Java/Kotlin/OOP developers learn functional programming as fast as possible, using a technique that I “discovered” over the last few years.
Conversely, The Big FP Book covers many topics in great detail.
If you’re interested in more details, here are links to the two books:
- Functional Programming, Simplified (the Big FP Book)
- Learn Functional Programming Without Fear (the Little FP Book)
