Greetings! Join us LIVE in 1 hour from now where we conclude our #HandsOnSAPDev mini series on exploring functional programming. Curiosity-driven learning-by-doing as always, everyone welcome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKWxP3F6xc @sap

I was thinking about tacit programming and composition for tomorrow's #HandsOnSAPDev live stream, and decided to start writing a blog post to get those thoughts down.

And instantly regretted it - there's a lot to say, and I'm now deep into a rabbit hole I wasn't expecting to be in.

Should I continue? @sap

Just a reminder that we'll be LIVE at the usual time this Fri 16 May with the final episode of our exploration of functional programming on #HandsOnSAPDev - join us, everyone welcome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKWxP3F6xc @sap

Join us free & live this Fri 16 May (0800 BST / 0900 CEST / 1230 IST / 1700 AEST) for the 5th and final part of our #HandsOnSAPDev mini series exploring functional programming, where we'll look at composition and point-free coding. Everyone welcome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKWxP3F6xc @sap

In our #HandsOnSAPDev live stream series exploring func prog we've seen how fundamental the reduce function is. Today I came across yet another case where one can employ it to great effect, in a LeetCode solution.

Missed this morning's #HandsOnSAPDev live stream episode? Don't worry, the replay is available. We explored what currying is, what partial application is, how closures are key in this context, and why you'd want to use them, with simple examples. Share & enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j253luGOlU #FP @sap

Don't miss tomorrow's #HandsOnSAPDev live stream episode where we continue our exploration into functional programming. Friendly chat and curiosity-driven learning-by-doing, as always. Everyone welcome! Fri 09 May at 0900 CEST. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j253luGOlU

ICYMI, a brief foray into the CAP Node.js server code that loads the CDS model, using what we are learning in our functional programming explorations to understand why & how required services are automatically loaded. https://qmacro.org/blog/posts/2025/05/01/fp-function-chains-and-cap-model-loading/

TIL about the subtlety of the optional initialValue parameter for the Array prototype's reduce method in JS.

https://qmacro.org/blog/posts/2025/04/29/array.prototype.reduce-and-the-optional-initial-value/

Too obvious ... or worth pointing out? Anyway, hope someone gets something out of this micro realisation.

Join us on Friday next week (25 Apr) we continue with part 2 of our #HandsOnSAPDev mini series "Let's explore functional programming". Everyone welcome!

Before then, why not catch up with the replay of part 1? Here's the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XLCRF1Cc9w&list=PL6RpkC85SLQB-0sK7KSRwCc2gdtlZDIkL

Did you miss this morning's #HandsOnSAPDev live session, where we started our exploration of functional programming? Don't worry, the replay is available (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpvJcdoZ7yE) with great chat & comments, and discussion about first class, lambda (anonymous) and higher order functions, closures, composition and even a (deliberately subtle*) first glimpse of the heart of currying and partial application. Share and enjoy!

*did you spot it (makeTaxer = pct => amt => ...)?
