Functional Programming in Scala

Hello everyone,
As promised, we will be writing a book on Functional Programming in
Scala. Paul Chiusano, Runar Bjarnason and me have just signed with
Manning Publications and we hope to bring you all a book that can help
with many of the functional programming topics that we hear about often.

The three of us have come to appreciate the challenge of teaching many
of these topics and we are confident that we can take it on in the
form of a book for the general audience. We are all pretty excited
about this endeavour and we all hope to effectively conquer the
hurdles that present themselves along this well-trodden path of learning.

Stay tuned!

Looking forward to the MEAP :)

[Richard Wallace]

I'll definitely purchase! In fact, I'd be more than happy to lend some
time to do reviews.

Interestingly enough, I'm also thinking of giving a presentation
titled "Introduction to Functional Programming in Scala" at QCon SF
and Devoxx. My plan right now is to try and create a sort of
synthesis of the "Deriving Scalaz" talk that Nick Partridge did and
Runars guerilla guide from NE Scala.

[Kevin Esler]

Great news. Looking forward to it.

Awesome news! Thanks guys!

Yes, the "PrePrint" is what we call an early release PDF. We're just
getting started on prepping the first two chapters for the PrePrint

Hi guys.

I bought the book and reading.

Maybe I found a mistake.

following sample code of chapter 5 page 12

    > def pair2(i: => Int) = { lazy val evaledI = i; (i, i) }

    > pair2 { println("hi"); 1 + 41 }

    hi

    val res0: (Int,Int) = (42,42)

should be 

    > def pair2(i: => Int) = { lazy val evaledI = i; (evaledI, evaledI) }

    > pair2 { println("hi"); 1 + 41 }

    hi

    val res0: (Int,Int) = (42,42)

isn't it ?

[Daniel Sobral]

Yes, otherwise "hi" would be printed three times.

[Runar Bjarnason]

Yes, that's definitely a typo. Thanks!

The place to post mistakes when you find them is probably on the forum for the book instead of the Scala mailing lists :)

http://www.manning-sandbox.com/forum.jspa?forumID=805

[Dave]

>Yes, otherwise "hi" would be printed three times.

In reality two times. I think i in (i, i) is referenced and evaluated
only once.

scala> def pair2(i: => Int) = { lazy val evaledI = i; (i, i) }
pair2: (i: => Int)(Int, Int)

scala> pair2 { println("hi"); 1 + 41 }
hi
hi
res0: (Int, Int) = (42,42)

[Tony Morris]

Yeah you found a mistake. I make those occasionally, like this one time
in 1986...

Thanks for pointing it out. It was also pointed out on the manning forum.

Actually, no, it is referenced and evaluated twice. It's i in "lazy
val evaledI = i" that is never evaluated. But, otherwise, yes, two
times.

Indeed ;)
And I don't know why I thought that a tuple would cache (and I could
have tested that)

For anyone wavering on this, there's a 50% off offer expiring today (14th March) on the MEAP at manning.com.  Use promotional code:  li50scala

 

Looks good so far - based on a very quick skim read.  I'll have time to look properly on holiday in a couple of weeks time.
