Summary: During PDC 2008, Oliver Sturm joined Keith and Woody to talk about his new book Functional Programming in C# (due in 2009) and discussed how all C# developers have the power of functional programming at their fingertips today. The discussion went so deep there is a code example in the post to illustrate the concepts Oliver discussed. Thanks to our guest this episode Oliver Sturm is an experienced software architect, developer, trainer and author, and a language freak. He also thinks he's a nice guy, but he's prepared to accept other opinions on that. He is a C# MVP and he works for Developer Express as a Technical Evangelist and Lead Program Manager for the Frameworks Division.
