Beyond OOP: Functional Programming Patterns in Modern PHP
Gunnard Engebreth
Think functional programming is just for Haskell nerds? Think again. I'll show you how to use functional techniques to write PHP code that's easier to test and harder to break. We'll explore when immutable data structures make sense, how to use map/filter/reduce without looking pretentious, and why pure functions might just save your sanity. No math degree required.
