From my talk at LCNUG.

Looking to be more pragmatic with LINQ? Want to see the connection between the C# you use every day and Functional Programming? Want to stop using for loops?
Join me on a trip to the marvelous Land of Higher Order Functions.
We’ll travel to the forest of Maps, Filters, and Folding—oh my!
Then we’ll visit the towns of Zip and Mapcat.
We’ll end our trip with a sight of the City of FP.

66. –- L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
“Even with eyes protected by the green
spectacles, Dorothy and her friends were at
first dazzled by the brilliancy of the wonderful
City.”
102. –- L. Frank Baum, The Marvelous Land of Oz
“[A]lthough I feel that I know a tremendous lot, I
am not yet aware how much there is in the
world to find out about. It will take me a little
time to discover whether I am very wise or very
foolish.”
