First:
-> Don't be scared away by the release-date in 2020, the course is perfectly relevant and valid in 2023 and the years to come!
Second:
A great and surprisingly easy understandable yet well covered introduction to functional programming, using Python.
Python by far is not a pure functional language, but I was very positively surprised how well Shaun was able to show and describe the various concepts of FP with Pythons wonderfully easy-to-read syntax!
Can recommend!
Thanks @Shaun Wassell! :-)

Course details
Functional programming offers developers a more effective way of writing readable, maintainable code. In this course, Shaun Wassell helps Python developers get up to speed with this increasingly popular programming paradigm, explaining what it is and how adopting it can help you improve the quality and maintainability of your code. Shaun begins by covering the key differences between the declarative and imperative programming paradigms. He then dives into the basics of working with first-class functions in Python, as well as the built-in functions and features in Python that support functional programming. Plus, he goes over several advanced concepts, including partial application and recursion.
