Don't you ever get fed up of code failures in production? The infamous Null Reference Exception alone must be responsible for a large percentage of production issues.

What if it didn't have to be like that? What if you could write code that never fails? Believe it or not - you can.

Functional programming is a style of writing code that has been around since the 1960s, and has been becoming increasingly popular in recent years, with the advent of technologies like Serverless and async.

It's a style of code that removes side effects and unpredictable behaviour from your applications, making them just about impossible to break in production.

It enables nearly 100% unit test coverage, increasing the quality of the code that you deploy.

It doesn't have issues of resource contention or race conditions relating to state, making it ideal for asynchronous & distributed processing of data.

All of this is accomplished with out-of-the-box C#. No need to pay for new software licences or install additional software packages.

Using the techniques from this workshop, you will be able to immediately improve the quality of your production code, without it costing anything!
