Abstract
C# is predominantly an imperative programming language, which means that it deals primarily with changes in state. However, C# 3.0 is starting to show its functional programming side. Functional programming aims to create code that does not produce any side effects. Many of the previous chapters included functional programming aspects, without calling it functional programming. In this chapter, I am going to put the stake in the ground and explain functional programming.
