The most insightful and intuitive guide to clean and simple software. I recommend this to all software developers.

Distributed across servers, difficult to test, and resistant to modification—modern software is complex. Grokking Simplicity is a friendly, practical guide that will change the way you approach software design and development. It introduces a unique approach to functional programming that explains why certain features of software are prone to complexity, and teaches you the functional techniques you can use to simplify these systems so that they’re easier to test and debug.
about the technology
Developers rightly fear the unintended complexity that infects most code. This book shows you how to write software that keeps complexity close to its inherent minimum. As you write software you should distinguish between code that alters your system’s state, and code that does not. Once you learn to make that distinction, you can refactor much of your state-altering “actions” into stateless “calculations.” Your software will be simpler.about the book
The book also teaches you to solve the complex timing bugs that inevitably creep into asynchronous and multithreaded code. In advanced sections of the book you learn how composable abstractions help avoid repeating code and open up new levels of expressivity.what's inside
- Patterns for simpler code
- Powerful time modeling approaches to simplify asynchronous code
- How higher-order functions can make code reusable and composable

This book is a must-read for taming complex software. One of the most engaging titles in years.
A great resource for learning functional thinking and the practical programming techniques derived from it. I can recommend to my colleagues with confidence.
An indispensable guide to identifying and conquering complexity.
