This was a very good read. I am not a developer but have worked for a similar software company for some time. Anyone have suggestions on learning how to get into the functional programming?

If you were a developer you may have a very different opinion of this article.

Don’t listen to these twats downvoting you. Do what works for you. If it works, it works. If you wanna learn, you have to build. I’d start with python. It’s easy to pick up and you can learn a lot by just writing code to automate tasks. Python supports both OOP and functional programming, and anything in between. As long as the program does what you need it to do, it doesn’t matter. Fuck worrying about people maintaining your code. In fact, make it as unmaintainable as possible for anyone but you. That’s called job security. Anyone who says otherwise can suck your dick. Start here https://www.w3schools.com/python/. If not for anything else than just to get a basic grasp on the syntax and terminology. Then when you have questions, and you will quickly, Google it (properly). You’ll be visiting stack overflow quite a bit. Stick with what you know and never learn anything new until you absolutely have no other choice. Good luck.
