If anyone is looking for a really eye-opening video take a look at that this. "Domain Modeling Made Functional"
It's applying Functional Programming to plain old Enterprise line of business apps in F#. The author argues why it's so much simpler, and simply walks through an example with cases. It's hard not to be persuaded. It leaves behind all of the lofty crazy maths you see in a lot of presentations of FP, and just shows how it's a simpler technique to solve real world problems.
It's really impressive, and also surprising why more people promoting FP don't show it's tangible benefits and simplicity vs. the theoretical/abstract way it's usually presented.
It's also a great introduction to 'Domain Driven Design' and data modeling regardless of the language you use.
