Functional Programming by TyngRuey Chuang
Tyng-Ruey Chuang's "Functional Programming" gives a condensed summary of the leading concepts of functional programming. The basic concepts of functional programming are covered in this PDF and expose the core principles and paradigms. Among other things, it considers fold and unfold functions that are indispensable in the treatment of data structures in a functional manner. The paper also considers parameterized modules, which allow flexible and reusable parts of code. Main topics are function evaluation and binding, raw items of how functions work and interact in functional programming languages. Addressing these notions, Chuang's notes give a chance for brief but intensive introduction to the techniques and practices of functional programming.

Introduction to Functional Programming
John Harrison's 'Introduction to Functional Programming', This set of notes provides a very accessible introduction to the fundamental principles and methods of functional programming in general. The PDF begins with an investigation of lambda calculus as a theoretical framework for functional programming and proceeds further with the review of its application as a programming language. Types are considered in the notes just to give a glimpse into type systems and how they play their role in functional programming. This document serves as an introduction to ML: a meta-language that practically introduces the concepts of programming. It also covers the importance of proving programs correct by describing methods for the reliability of programs. Finally, effective ML covers the best practices and techniques to write robust and efficient functional programs. This book is a good reference for learners who want to understand both the theoretical underpinnings and practical application of functional programming.

Type Theory and Functional Programming
Simon Thompson's Type Theory and Functional Programming explains the connection between type theory and functional programming. The book starts with an introduction to propositional and predicate logic, which gives a basis needed to understand type theory. It then leads on to functional programming and &

Authored by Graham Hutton, this online course module introduces the basic axioms of functional programming using Haskell, which is a modern functional programming language. It introduces the learner to the basic ideas of functional programming: immutability of data, purity of function, higher-order functions. Students will work through practical examples and exercises to build a firm grasp of methods in functional programming. This course is aimed at understanding and applying core principles in Haskell to enable learners to fathom the advantages and paradigms of functional programming. Therefore, it's a good resource for beginners who wish to investigate functional programming through getting their hands dirty with Haskell.
