A gentle introduction to functional programming through music and Clojure
Details
Talk by Paul Lam
This is a hands-on 3-hour workshop to functional programming using Clojure to play some music. We will start from scratch by composing functions to play notes, reading guitar tabs, and eventually writing a program to play Tracy Chapman's Fast Car (https://youtu.be/Orv_F2HV4gk). No prior functional programming or Clojure experience necessary. Bring your laptop and make some noise with us!
