Dean gave a talk at Windy City Rails a few years ago that opened this (ruby) programmer's eyes to functional programming. I haven't read the book, but he's a very good educator. Kenny On Sat, Jul 30, 2011 at 12:03 AM, Sean Corfield wrote: > On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 5:03 AM, Colin Yates > wrote:

In the vein of FP for Java programmers, these two libraries might be of interest. Sequence-like operations on collection using annotations. Nice and small. http://jedi.codehaus.org/ More advanced and Scalaish. Benefits from a bigger community. http://functionaljava.org/ -- You received this mes

Can you provide a more detailed review? How did it help you? What area(s) that it focused on did you find most useful? I've been playing with Clojure for nearly a year now, but it has just been on my own. At work, however, it is just Java and C#. Of course, I've also got several computer books wai
