Would you like to explore the functional programming side of Python? What are the advantages of this approach, and what tools are built into the language? This week on the show, author Bruce Eckel talks about functional programming in Python. Bruce is the author of several programming books, including Thinking in Java, Thinking in C++, Thinking in Python, Atomic Scala, and most recently, Atomic Kotlin. He’s been an explorer of programming languages over his career. Functional programming—with its lack of side effects, its transparency, and its potential for parallelization—has recently caught Bruce’s attention.  Bruce’s talk “Making Data Classes Work for You” at PyCon US 2022 explored the idea of the invariance of objects.  We also discuss his next book project, the Python community, and his affection for “un-conferences”. Bruce is hosting the upcoming Summer Tech Forum in Crested Butte, Colorado, this August. Course Spotlight: Using Data Classes in Python Data classes were introduced in Python 3.7. When using data classes, you don’t have to write boilerplate code to get proper initialization, representation, and comparisons for your objects. Topics:  00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:15 – Musicians as programmers 00:03:40 – Happy Path Programming Podcast 00:04:19 – The essence of functional programming 00:10:55 – Making Data Classes Work for You - PyCon US 2022 talk 00:15:14 – What are things that have drawn you to Python? 00:17:39 – More than just a scripting language 00:21:35 – Consulting with companies 00:23:40 – Video Course Spotlight 00:25:04 – The frozen flag in a data class and __post_init__ 00:29:02 – Invariance and funtional programming 00:31:02 – How do you see it changing your programming? 00:34:49 – Not forcing an “approach” to Python 00:38:46 – Writing style in programming and books 00:42:31 – Who has been the intended audience for your books? 00:45:26 – Educational debt 00:46:50 – Python’s community 00:51:03 – New book about concurrency 01:00:51 – Winter and Summer Tech Forums 01:07:23 – Conference precautions and safety 01:08:51 – What are you excited about in the world of Python? 01:11:40 – What do you want to learn next? 01:12:23 – How can people follow the things you do? 01:13:13 – Thanks and goodbye  Show Links:  Computing Thoughts - Bruce Eckel’s Programming Blog MindView Exceptional Learning Experiences Happy Path Programming • A podcast on Anchor Bruce Eckel: Making Data Classes Work for You - PyCon US 2022 - YouTube Data Classes in Python 3.7+ (Guide) – Real Python Functional Programming in Python: When and How to Use It – Real Python Function composition (computer science) - Wikipedia Monad (functional programming) - Wikipedia Smalltalk - Wikipedia C++ - Wikipedia Java (programming language) - Wikipedia Object-oriented programming - Wikipedia Learning Resources for the Kotlin Programming Language Episode #88: Discussing Type Hints, Protocols, and Ducks in Python – The Real Python Podcast Fluent Python, 2nd Edition Summer Tech Forum Unconference: Self-Organizing Open Spaces in Crested Butte, Colorado August 15-19, 2022 Bruce Eckel (@BruceEckel) / Twitter  Level up your Python skills with our expert-led courses:  Python Decorators 101 How to Use Python Lambda Functions Using Data Classes in Python  Support the podcast &amp; join our community of Pythonistas

Exploring Functional Programming in Python With Bruce Eckel

Bruce Eckel is co-author of the Leanpub book Atomic Kotlin. In this interview, Leanpub co-founder Len Epp talks with Bruce about a range of topics including his background, independent consulting, writing books and how preoccupied you should be with the eventual outcome of any book project, working with publishers, his book, and at the end, they talk a little bit about his experience as a self-published author.This interview was recorded on January 11, 2021.The full audio for the interview is here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/leanpub_podcasts/FM170-Bruce-Eckel-2021-01-11.mp3.
