Functional programming (函數式程式設計) 是一種已有六十年歷史的程式設計範式，為何現在變得越來越重要？這是因為隨著各種連網設備 (如行動裝置) 和雲端服務的普及，多程序透過網路交換訊息已成為常態，因此分散式系統的開發變得至關重要。分散式系統軟體開發的複雜性往往導致開發過程容易陷入混亂，程式碼盤根錯節難以除錯維護與擴展，成為揮之不去卻又不敢動的痛處。而 functional programming 的簡約風格因此受到廣泛關注。這種設計範式強調使用函式來構建應用程式，程式碼清晰又容易維護，亦能解決分散式系統多執行緒的問題。除了專門的函數式語言之外，Python、Java、JavaScript、C#、C++、Go 和 Rust 等知名語言的新版中，也因應趨勢增強了對 functional programming 的支援。只要建立了這種思維方式，你就可以應用在自己的程式語言中。市面上與 functional programming 相關的書籍 (主要為英文書) 通常由學者撰寫，內容偏重理論，而在大型實務專案經驗上顯得不足。這類書中的範例大多過於簡單，未能涉及實際軟體架構問題。與此相反，本書作者擁有二十年在產業界實際運用 functional programming 的經驗，從產業角度出發，旨在幫助那些在軟體工程實踐中遇到困難的工程師重新思考。即使你的目的不是分散式系統，學習 functional programming 的思維都能夠幫助你在撰寫任何程式時想得更周到。由於 functional programming 的特點 — 無 side effects（額外作用）和資料的不可變性 — 使得它非常適用於開發網路程式，在這種環境中，資料一致性和狀態管理是關鍵挑戰。本書透過 concurrency primitives（併發基本工具）實作、繪製時間線圖、分析並解決併發操作中的插緒問題，有效處理狀態變化和 bug，從而構建可靠的分散式系統程式。本書特色: ●作者從產業界的視角出發，旨在幫助那些陷入困境的軟體工程師，重新審視並採納 functional programming 程式設計方法。●為了更貼近軟體工程師的實際狀況，書中以廣泛熟知的 JavaScript 語言做示範。雖然 JavaScript 不是最理想的函數式語言，但這一點

The Avengers was the comic book of the 1970s. From Civil Rights to Women’s Lib, battles for the soul of America became battles between super heroes. Writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby co-created the all-star group of six super heroes in September 1963. From there, just three main writers chronicled Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in that most turbulent of decades: Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, and Jim Shooter, each with differing approaches. The Avengers quickly became the pivot around which the Marvel Universe turned. To look back through its issues is to get a crash course in ’70s pop culture. Illustrated with full-color art from this legendary run, Paul Cornell’s entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS series explores how the Mighty Avengers became icons during a time of immense change and upheaval.
