I've been on a Functional Programming kick lately. Wrote an FP library for PHP. Done a little in JavaScript. Kicking the tires on a couple functional-first languages. Looks like Scala may be a good place to settle down & get comfy.
Aside from that, I'm thinking it might be time to start the discussion about digital identity & reputation ecosystems again.
- runT1ME 10y agoFunctional Programming in Scala is probably my favorite tech/coding book ever. It takes you from square one to writing a full fledged, 100% functional, concurrent, IO tool kit. If you didn't think it was possible (or know how) to do functional IO, or FP was helpful or things like databases, webservers etc. definitely check this book out. Scala is a great language too. Easy to get started with, very challenging to master, but the community is great, job opportunities are very good, and I'm having a blast doing it.
- csixty4 10y agoThanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out! The community is really what struck me about Scala so far. I'm coming from the WordPress world, where the community is positive & supportive for the most part.
