The functional programming paradigm has been around for a long time but
currently experiences a renaissance. Many of its principles promise better,
more stable, more readable and easily testable programs. Python's
multi-paradigm nature allows to choose the right style for a task.

The functional approach is not as widely used as object-oriented one. This
tutorial introduces functional programming and explains the functional
possibilities Python provides. Furthermore, it shows how to combined them with
the other paradigms Python supports. Participants will learn when to write
functional Python code and it is better to use some other technique to create
an efficient and pythonic program.

This tutorial can help you to add a different perspective to you programming
work. It can serve as a start on your journey into functional land.
