These features may appear intimidating to OOP programmers because of a misunderstanding of how they work. Programmers first need to become familiar with the abstract concepts that underlie these powerful features. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFunctional and Concurrent Programming\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, Michel Charpentier introduces a core set of programming language constructs that will help you be productive in a variety of programming languages--now and in the future. Charpentier illustrates key concepts with numerous small, focused code examples, written in Scala, and with case studies that provide a thorough grounding in functional and concurrent programming skills. These skills will carry from language to language--including the most recent incarnations of Java. Using these features will enable developers and programmers to write high-quality code that is easier to understand, debug, optimize, and evolve. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKey topics covered include:  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecursion and tail recursion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePattern matching and algebraic datatypes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePersistent structures and immutability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigher-order functions and lambda expressions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLazy evaluation and streams\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThreads and thread pools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAtomicity and locking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSynchronization and thread-safe objects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLock-free, non-blocking patterns\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFutures, promises, and functional-concurrent programming\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a bonus, the book includes a discussion of common typing strategies used in modern programming languages, including type inference, subtyping, polymorphism, type classes, type bounds, and type variance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost of the code examples are in Scala, which includes many of the standard features of functional and concurrent programming; however, no prior knowledge of Scala is assumed.
