Practical functional C#
Practical functional C#
A practical guide to the language-ext C# functional Library
About the Book
This book is focused on the practical use of language-ext functional library in C#. We will break down the Sample projects and see where functional programming fits in modern Web Application development using Asp.Net Core and Domain Driven Design .
