I'm looking for recommendations on where to learn functional programming, specifically using C or Java. I'm interested in resources that can help me understand how to apply functional programming principles within these languages, especially the use of static methods in Java.

You should definitely check out 'Learn You a Haskell for Great Good'. It's a fun and engaging way to get into functional programming concepts, even if Haskell isn't your main focus. Plus, it can really help in understanding the principles that can be applied to C or Java!
The key to mastering functional programming is writing clean, granular functions. Start practicing by breaking down your code into smaller, well-organized functions, regardless of the language.
I know this might sound off, but there's a cool course on boot.dev about functional programming using Python, and it's free! While it's not C or Java specifically, the concepts are transferable, and the content is easy to understand.
Are you looking to learn a truly functional programming language like Haskell or OCaml, or are you more interested in using functional programming techniques in languages like C and Java?
I want to use functional programming concepts in C or Java.
