Early Praise for Functional Programming Patterns
This book is an absolute gem and should be required reading for anybody looking
to transition from OO to FP. It is an extremely well-built safety rope for those
crossing the bridge between two very different worlds. Consider this mandatory
reading.

Colin Yates, technical team leader at QFI Consulting, LLP
This book sticks to the meat and potatoes of what functional programming can do
for the object-oriented JVM programmer. The functional patterns are sectioned in
the back of the book separate from the functional replacements of the object-oriented
patterns, making the book handy reference material. As a Scala programmer, I even
picked up some new tricks along the read.

Justin James, developer with Full Stack Apps
This book is good for those who have dabbled a bit in Clojure or Scala but are not
really comfortable with it; the ideal audience is seasoned OO programmers looking
to adopt a functional style, as it gives those programmers a guide for transitioning
away from the patterns they are comfortable with.
