How does executable specifications compare with other modeling paradigms?

I've found a better title for my book: Executable Specifications. Listen to find out why it's better.

What is the title of my new book?

I'm organizing my new book in terms of lenses. Each lens focuses our attention on one important aspect of software design. In this episode, I briefly introduce each lens.

An off-the-cuff stream of Functional Programming ideas, skills, patterns, and news from Functional Programming expert Eric Normand of LispCast. Formerly known as Thoughts on Functional Programming.

Coming from an imperative/OOP background in JavaScript and C++, I always found function programming to be completely foreign, both in its paradigm and its terminology. This podcast has helped me bridge some of the gaps in my mind.

To be honest, I had to do a lot of reading and watching videos about basic category/type theory in order to really understand what was going on. I’m not sure there is any way around that. It’s difficult to approach if you don’t have a strong foundation in math.

However, Eric does a good job of explaining some fundamental concepts in a way I could easily comprehend. Listen to this if you want to bridge your gap knowledge gap and step into the world of FP.

A good introduction to FP so far

I really like the format and topics Eric tends to extrapolate on. Nice small pieces of insight from a really talented software engineer. Thanks!!
