A practical guide for learning functional programming directly through the diagrams used to define functions, this book describes, and provides access to, a system that gives a level of support akin to that provided in word processing. The approach used allows the schematic diagrams used in program design to be directly translated into usable code, thus skipping a potential source of error in interpretation, and also alleviating many of the problems of 'errors insyntax'. Schematic functional programming uses diagrams, this book is the first to demonstrate a professional programming language based on a combination of both schema and functions Describes a schematic functional program development environment that has been built to provide all the tools, support and mechanisms a systems or program designer needs to make functional programs creatively INDICE: Preface.- Why Schematic Functional Programming.- Making Changes.- In Pursuit of Elegance.- Mind Maps and Mechanisms.- Functional Thinking.- Thinking Practically.- Side-Effect Programming and Schematic Design.- Adult Things.- Higher Order Programming and Lower Level Activity.- Programming with Uncertainty: Theories, Models, and Programs.- Appendix I, II and III.- Index.
