Functional programming is a coding technique that is highly effective and growing in popularity—particularly in commercial software. The code is shorter, cleaner, and allows for better maintenance, testing, and debugging. Students pursuing these courses should have a solid background in mathematics and basic programming languages. Classes will instruct on the fundamentals of functional programming and its real-world applications.

Functional programming is an important tool in an aspiring developer’s toolkit. These individuals can apply to positions as computer programmers and software developers. An entry-level computer programmer can expect an annual salary of $51,000. After five years, experienced programmers earn over $70,000 on average. The U.S. labor projections for software developers is expected to increase by 21 percent over the next 10 years.

Individuals pursuing a functional programming bootcamp will find options in major tech hubs around the world, including San Francisco, Boston, Vancouver, Boulder, and Sydney. Industry professionals serve as teachers and mentors, and students will have access to networking events and career opportunities through these classroom connections.
