If you come from a C# background I really enjoy the book Real World Functional Programming [1]. The way it lays out samples side by side with C# and F# is pretty great and really helped me start to understand functional programming and F#.

That is a pretty excellent book, and definitely agree that it is helpful seeing the C# and F# code for the same example laid out side-by-side to compare. It helps a lot for those situations where you can't just switch to a functional-first language, but you want to use more functional constructs in your code.

After all, if you try hard enough, you could code in a functional style in C.
