Introduction to Functional Programming and the Structure of Programming Languagesusing OCaml
Gert Smolka's "Introduction to Functional Programming and the Structure of Programming Languages using OCaml" is an extensive tutorial that deals with the functional principles of programming using OCaml. The document first addresses basic issues like syntax and semantics, thereby providing a solid grounding in the theoretical issues concerning programming languages. Polymorphic functions are considered, iteration has been discussed, and lists, constructor types, and trees have been dealt with, including linearization. The notes include practical aspects such as parsing and a mini OCaml interpreter to help in the implementation of functional languages. Additional topics include running time analysis, inductive correctness proofs, and arrays. It takes a well-rounded approach to functional programming and data structures; both theoretical ideas and practice are emphasized.

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.

This course note, from the University of Edinburgh and offered online, emphasizes from a very practical point of view how to apply basic functional programming concepts in a graphical environment. Major topics to be covered include recursion, abstraction, higher-order functions, and several different data types-how all these concepts can be used to solve problems is demonstrated. The note introduces theoretical aspects but underlines their practical relevance by showing how these can be put into practice within graphical programming contexts. Learners develop a solid, theoretically based understanding of functional programming principles and get real practical experience applying these principles to graphical applications. This resource takes an integrated approach in the way that it interrelates theory and practice, hence acting as a bridge from concepts of functional programming to real-life practice.

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.
