Applying Functional Programming by Venkat Subramaniam
Functional programming has been around for a long time but is gaining traction in recent years due to support in mainstream languages. Why and when should we use functional programming? Are there times when that may not be the right choice? In this presentation we will discuss the reasons to use functional programming, how we can make use of it, and also explore when it may not be the right tool. The highly interactive presentation will be driven using live-coding examples. Come prepared with your questions that you may be curious about.
