In this first episode we discuss the big picture ideas that make functional programming distinct from other styles of programming.  No experience required! If you're interested in learning what the fuss is about, this is the episode to start with.

1: Overview Of Functional Programming

2: Overview of Functional Programming part 2

Recursion, that infinite spiral of self referentiality. In this episode we break down the ideas behind recursion, and more importantly when and where you might want to use recursion.

7: Recursion

Oh category theory, bastion of strange and wonderful terminology, (some might say terrible and inaccessible). Love it or hate it, you're likely to run into some terms from category theory if you spend enough time in FP land. In this episode we'll tackle some of the terms that make up the 'ism family of terms, morphism, endomorphism, isomorphism, homomorphism, and catamorphism.

8: Morphisms

Abstraction takes on a different meaning amongst functional programmers. This episode we dig into how parametric polymorphism is an essential tool in developing well behaved abstractions that transcend simply being a solution to your individual problem.

11: Aaron's C# Story

Into the icy maw of category theory starting with Monoids! In reality we find out it's not actually all that scary and there are some really fantastic things that we gain by understanding these basic categorical concepts.

Chris Wilson pointed out that Haskell's Typeclassopedia has a nice chart of the relationship between Haskell's implementation of many categorical structures: https://wiki.haskell.org/wikiupload/d/df/Typeclassopedia-diagram.png

12: Monoids

Algebraic Data Types (ADTs) are one of the most distinguishing features of statically typed functional languages. Come learn why they exist, how you can use them, and how they change your design.

13: ADTs

Going deeper down the category theory rabbit hole, we explore one of the most common and useful abstractions in the functional programming world. You're likely already familiar with Functors but just didn't know it yet.

Functor
    map :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
Bifunctor
    bimap :: (a -> b) -> (c -> d) -> f a c -> f b d
Profunctor
    dimap :: (a -> b) -> (c -> d) -> f b c -> f a d

LambdaCast is a podcast about functional programming for working developers. Our focus is to describe concepts using clear everyday language without watering anything down. If you've ever been curious about FP but were turned off by the jargon or unfamiliar concepts, this is the place to be.
