Topic:
Exploring Functional Programming
Description:
The goal is to get a glimpse of the 'functional way' of doing things.
As a teaser, in the FP way of doing things you cannot change the value
of a `variable' This is a personal perspective of what is interesting
and fascinating in FP.
Speaker will be using Python to explore FP. He hopes to show a bit of
Haskell too, but Python will be the bulk of it.
Duration : 30 min
