Part 2 How to approach the different parts of a concurrent program

This part of the book dives into functional programming concepts and applicability. We’ll explore various concurrent programming models, with an emphasis on the benefits and advantages of this paradigm. Topics will include the Task Parallel Library along with parallel patterns such as Fork/Join, Divide and Conquer, and MapReduce. We’ll also discuss declarative composition, high-level abstraction in asynchronous operations, the agent programming model, and the message-passing semantic. You’ll see firsthand how functional programming allows you to compose program elements without evaluating them. These techniques parallelize work and make programs easier to reason about and more efficient to run due to optimal memory consumption.
