Grokking Simplicity: Taming complex software with functional thinking
I’m cheating a bit because this is only under 200 pages because it’s a work in progress.
It’s such an easy read, but does a great job at explaining the value of functional programming for building real-world applications without getting bogged down in monads, currying, and complex type systems.
Once it’s complete, I’d make it required reading for any new junior/intermediate devs on my team (or anyone unfamiliar with functional programming).

- JoeyJoJoJr 6y agoJudging by the table of contents, this book looks really good. Ideally though I would like to read through a good sized sample on my kindle in mobi format before making a purchase.
