Out of the tar pit is the best paper on this I’ve ever read: http://curtclifton.net/papers/MoseleyMarks06a.pdf

This paper revolutionized my perspective on software engineering and ultimately how our company does business.

If you want to skip to the good part, Chapter 9 is where you want to be.

We were able to create a hybrid FRP system that uses SQLite & application-defined functions as the sandbox within which all of this hypothetical functional/relational business occurs. This is in production for several of our customers right now.

Actually I think chapters 1–8 are more valuable than the chapters dealing with a concrete implementation because they teach you ideas and principles

Very good suggestion !

I would add Frederick Brooks' No Silver Bullet alongside this for better understanding.
