He believes that the reasons many developers don’t take advantage of functional programming are the learning curve and the unfamiliarity. If that’s what’s been holding you back, check out Eric’s step-by-step tutorial on functional programming using VB 9.0. VB 9.0 and it’s new language features revolving around LINQ make Visual Basic a great language for doing functional programming. Here’s the tutorial to learn how:<\/p>\n
