Functional Programming Article (A good explanation of Continuations esp.)

Early last month (When I was waiting to return back home ), I was trying hard to understand continuations, closures etc…

In the process I read quite a few articles on these topics. The best one was the one which I read from http://www.defmacros.org

The article was titled Functional Programming For The Rest of Us.

The article covers Higher Order Functions, Currying, Continuations and Closures.

I was trying to pull this article again for Manu, But I could not find it for quite sometime until yesterday.

So I thought I’ll blogmark this here.

Go ahead read this if you want to understand the above topics, Its a good read.

Update: I forgot to mention, It is written in a imaginary variant of Java. Hence it is easier to follow if you are addicted to curly braces.
