The Pragmatic Programmers Learn Functional Programming with Elixir
Book SynopsisElixir's straightforward syntax and this guided tour give you a clean, simple path to learn modern functional programming techniques. No previous functional programming experience required! This book walks you through the right concepts at the right pace, as you explore immutable values and explicit data transformation, functions, modules, recursive functions, pattern matching, high-order functions, polymorphism, and failure handling, all while avoiding side effects. Don't board the Elixir train with an imperative mindset! To get the most out of functional languages, you need to think functionally. This book will get you there. Functional programming offers useful techniques for building maintainable and scalable software that solves today's difficult problems. The demand for software written in this way is increasing - you don't want to miss out. In this book, you'll not only learn Elixir and its features, you'll also learn the mindset required to program functionally. Elixir's clean syntax is excellent for exploring the critical skills of using functions and concurrency. Start with the basic techniques of the functional way: working with immutable data, transforming data in discrete steps, and avoiding side effects. Next, take a deep look at values, expressions, functions, and modules. Then extend your programming with pattern matching and flow control with case, if, cond, and functions. Use recursive functions to create iterations. Work with data types such as lists, tuples, and maps. Improve code reusability and readability with Elixir's most common high-order functions. Explore how to use lazy computation with streams, design your data, and take advantage of polymorphism with protocols. Combine functions and handle failures in a maintainable way using Elixir features and libraries. Learn techniques that matter to make code that lives harmoniously with the language. What You Need: You'll need a computer and Elixir 1.4 or newer version installed. No previous functional programming or Elixir experience is required. Some experience with any programming language is recommended.

Van Haren Publishing Enterprise Agility: Een Effectieve Transformatie Op Basis Van Principes En Practices
Book SynopsisDit boek helpt (middel)grote organisaties bij het ontwikkelen en vergroten van enterprise agility. Anders gezegd: hoe kan je als organisatie snel en wendbaar waarde leveren in samenwerking met jouw gebruikers? De auteurs geven de lezer niet alleen zicht op wat er nodig is om tot enterprise agility te komen, ze geven ook praktische handvatten die helpen bij het uitvoeren van een dergelijke transformatie. En dit alles gebaseerd op langdurige ervaring met consultancy en trainingen bij grote organisaties, zoals de Nationale politie, Havenbedrijf van Rotterdam en de Belastingdienst.In logische stappen van schaalvergroting nemen de auteurs de lezer vanuit de onderliggende principes mee, via snelle wendbare teams en onderlinge samenwerkingsverbanden naar het ontwikkelen van enterprise agility binnen de gehele organisatie. Bij iedere stap wordt inzichtelijk gemaakt op welke wijze de bijbehorende uitdagingen met passende effectieve aanpakken kunnen worden opgelost, zonder op snelheid en wendbaarheid in te boeten. De auteurs nemen de lezer mee in de keuzes die worden gemaakt en hoe daarbij de bijbehorende consequenties het hoofd te bieden. Bekende theorieën en practices worden op een heldere wijze samengebracht en voorzien van praktische handvatten om er daadwerkelijk mee aan de slag te kunnen gaan.Aan de orde komen uitwerkingen van gewenste patronen als ook het reduceren van al aanwezige anti-patronen. Bekende practices als Scrum, Kanban en Devops, maar ook alle betrokken rollen zoals die van de product owner, het management, ondersteunende teams en kaderstellende afdelingen worden in verhouding tot het geschaald werken gepositioneerd. Om uiteindelijk tot een organisatie te komen waarbij de focus verschuift van output genereren naar impact creëren. Door een praktische insteek wordt de lezer geholpen om zichzelf en anderen te stimuleren om de transformatieperiode zo kort mogelijk te maken en de daadwerkelijke mindshift door te maken.De auteurs hebben gezamenlijk uitgebreide ervaring en deskundigheid waarmee zij individuen tot hele organisaties in beweging weten te brengen.Marco de Jong is sinds 2009 actief als begeleider van transformaties naar Lean en enterprise agility en is één van de grondleggers van het ScALE framework. Hij is sinds 2016 actief als consultant bij de Nationale politie en heeft de organisatie gedurende deze periode intensief begeleid bij de diverse transformatiestappen. In het samenwerken ontdekte Marco in Femke Hille een gedrevenheid op het verhogen van effectiviteit, wat leidde tot de ontwikkeling van een zeer succesvol trainingsprogramma. Dit boek is dan ook een gevolg van deze succesvolle samenwerking en vervult hun beider behoefte aan het delen van kennis en kunde met anderen.
