Manifesto for Yes! to Not Only Object-Oriented Development

I’m an enthusiastic signer of NOOO as 01010001 Giacomo Stelluti Scala. My purpose is to learn and share knowledge about Functional Programming, keeping in mind this principles:

Functional programming is a state of mind. It is a way of thinking differently about the problem. (1)

It’s a common misconception that the functional and OO programming methodologies compete; in fact, they’re largely orthogonal. (2)

From Theory to Practice

In practice YES!-to-NOOO will enumerate blog posts, books, code samples and OSS putting them in relation with NOOO manifesto points.
