What is Functional C#?

You may have always defined classes encapsulating state and exposing behavior as public methods.
You may have always implemented polymorphism via class derivation and interface implementation.
Traditional object-oriented design is verbose and often impractical in modern applications.
Functional design separates behavior from state definition, making the design of types much more manageable.
Records come in handy to define state alone.
Look how short this version is.
The behavior should still exist, and it comes in the form of independent delegates.
There, we see pattern matching as the most powerful modeling tool for behavior.
That is a long story to tell in one short video.

???? About Me ????
Hi, I’m Zoran, I have more than 20 years of experience as a software developer, architect, team lead, and more. I have been programming in C# since its inception in the early 2000s. Since 2017 I have started publishing professional video courses at Pluralsight and Udemy and by this point, there are over 100 hours of the highest-quality videos you can watch on those platforms. On my YouTube channel, you can find shorter video forms focused on clarifying practical issues in coding, design, and architecture of .NET applications.❤️
