| Essence of Functional Programming - Venkat Subramaniam | Programming in a language is not entirely about the syntax. You have to learn and get used to a different paradigm and the idioms it supports. |

| Functional Programming | In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm, a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs, that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data. |
| Functional Programming - A Step Backward | Functional programming languages will have a place in general application development when we can read their code at a glance |

| Functional Programming with Java 8 - Venkat Subramaniam | With the release of Java 8, the biggest change is going to be in the programmers mind. In addition to the new syntax for lambda expressions and method references, a significant paradigm shift awaits us. |
| Functional Thinking - Neal Ford | |
| Side Effects | In computer science, a function or expression is said to have a side effect if, in addition to returning a value, it also modifies some state or has an observable interaction with calling functions or the outside world. For example, a function might modify a global variable or static variable, modify one of its arguments, raise an exception, write data to a display or file, read data, or call other side-effecting functions. In the presence of side effects, a program's behavior may depend on history; that is, the order of evaluation matters. Understanding and debugging a function with side effects requires knowledge about the context and its possible histories. |
