It wasn’t until the recent Fluent conference that I finally got off my mental butt to try and really use them. integrating programming I’ve been slow to pick up stuff because I never came across an great real world examples that would amke it obvious.

I’m intending to write a series of very short little examples of where I’ve used it and hopefully that will be useful to someone. Here they are (to be updated over time): Simple Filter Parsing a Flattened Two Dimensional Array Into a “Real” Two Dimensional Array (compare/contrast imperative with functional approach) Populate an Array With Test Data Mixing Arrays and Non-Arrays Via the Ternary Operator Use Reduce to Get Unique Values From Array of Complex Objects Multiple Techniques to Get Unique Values From an Array of Complex Objects Use Reduce to Create a Formatted String Use Reduce to Return a Complex Object From Lookup Table Via Simple Key Double Your Objects With This One Weird Trick (or, Reduce Doesn’t Exactly Mean What I Thought It Did) More to come! </end> is how hackers start their afternoons.
