Functional Programming with C#
summary
Shows how to get real functional patterns out of plain C# using LINQ, IEnumerable, Func delegates, extension methods and C# 8 pattern matching, with concrete recipes and working code. Implements validation as an validate extension method and composes rule functions into arrays of funcs for NINO validation and tax-bracket selection, demonstrates currying/partial application with an apply helper, builds monad-like wrappers (Identity/ Maybe monad) and Either to capture nulls and exceptions so pipelines run safely without scattered try/catch. Recommends LanguageExt and specific books for libraries and deeper study.
