Functional Programming with C#

on YouTube ↗58m

" summary

Shows how to implement functional patterns using only stock C# features and small helpers: LINQ for immutable transforms, record with 'with' expressions to avoid in-place mutation, and Maybe/Either monads (bind/map) to eliminate nested null checks and capture errors. Walks through concrete builds — a NINO validator using predicate lists, a CSV parser via partial application, fork/map/aggregate pipelines, and a COVID‑19 data app that survives one of the highest traffic spikes. Code claims: fewer lines, easier testing, and practical concurrency/serverless benefits.
