Скачать или смотреть Toward Functional Programming - Introduction

This introductory video outlines the foundational concepts and scope of the series of videos titled Programming in Practice: External Data Management - Toward Functional Programming. The video aims to bridge theoretical understanding and practical application of programming principles, particularly in the context of managing external structural data using C#. It begins by clarifying key distinctions such as information versus data and algorithm versus program, and emphasizes the importance of extended executable examples over isolated code snippets.

The video examines the role of functional programming in external data management, highlighting key principles such as stateless computation, immutability, and function composition. It also introduces practical tools and constructs such as extension methods, delegates, events, and anonymous functions. The prerequisites include basic knowledge of information technology, C# programming, Visual Studio, and GitHub.
