Functional Programming Refreseher

Goals:

• Understand Functional Programming, train my brain to think functional but only when it is needed.
• Use scala natively with Spark. Possibly expose reusable capabilities to be used with my stack
• Make a proper Azure CosmosDb example with spark

Functional Programming Principles using Scala

• Subtyping And Generics [x]
• Variance [x]
• Decomposition [x]
• Pattern Matching [x]

• More Functions on List [x]
• Pairs and Tuples [x]
• Implicit Parameters [x]
• Higher-Order List Functions [x]
• Reduction of Lists [x]
• Other Collections [x]
• Combinatorial Search [x]
• Combinatorial Search Example [x]

• Maps

• Might need some time to understand foldLeft and foldRight deeply

• Redid the Huffman Encoding ->
