What is Functional Programming — and why is everyone suddenly talking about it?
In this video, I’ll break down the fundamentals of Functional Programming (FP) in Java — simply and practically.
You’ll learn what FP really means, how it compares to Object-Oriented and Imperative programming, the key principles behind it (like pure functions, immutability, and function composition), and the main benefits it brings to your code.
By the end, you’ll know exactly when to use FP and when to stick with OOP in your own projects.
