Functional Programming vs. Imperative Programming
In traditional object-oriented programming (OOP), most developers are accustomed to programming in the imperative/procedural style. To switch to developing in a pure functional style, they have to make a transition in their thinking and their approach to development. To solve problems, OOP developers design class hierarchies, focus on proper encapsulation, and think in terms of class contracts. The behavior and state of object types are paramount, and language features, such as classes, interfaces, inheritance, and polymorphism, are provided to address these concerns. In contrast, functional programming approaches computational problems as an exercise in the evaluation of pure functional transformations of data collections. Functional programming avoids state and mutable data, and instead emphasizes the application of functions.
TheServerSide.com: your Java Community discussing server side development
Cameron McKenzie | 4 APR 2012 | 2 Comments Stephen Chin, Java Rockstar and tireless flag waver of JavaFX has added his name to Oracle's dole, which is big news to us, because we always thought that he *did* work for Oracle. Cameron McKenzie | 4 APR 2012 | 0 Comments One of the things you'll like about this particular tutorial is that it brings together two of the major stalwarts of TheServerSide: Terracotta and Spring. In this case, it's Terracotta's Quartz Scheduler, and Spring's JDBC wizardry. Cameron McKenzie | 3 APR 2012 | 2 Comments
