Solving Euler Problems in Scala
- May 8 · 7:30 PM
Brian Blaine will walk us through some solutions to Euler Problem #8 in Scala.
Afterward, we'll compare and contrast the Scala solutions with implementations in other functional languages. Feel free to prep a solution in a language of your choice to share with the group!
Please note the new day/time: we moved the meetup to Wednesday night to try to prevent conflicting with other local meetups.

"compare and contrast" is redundant. :-)

Probably depends on how many people we are expecting and if we want a screen to use. If it is just a few of us we can just show up, but if it is a big group we should probably reserve a table. Pangea will usually want us to buy something if me make a reservation. We could probably check with ansir first. I just offered pangea to save to trouble of

I had a great time and met some good people. Brian did a great job in the presentation. I am kinda a noob at functional programming - just recently started studying Erlang a month ago and felt this was a good group to be part of. I look forward to future meetups and getting to know the other members better. Sorry for having to leave a little early. -Bob

Since there was some interest in monads I thought I would post this: <a href="http://dev.stephendiehl.com/has...;
What I Wish I Knew When Learning Haskell </a> Specifically I liked this piece of advice:
Eightfold Path to Monad Satori
Don't read the monad tutorials.
No really, don't read the monad tutorials.
Learn about Haskell types.
Learn what a typeclass is.
Read the Typeclassopedia.
Read the monad definitions.
Use monads in real code.
Don't write monad-analogy tutorials.That being said if you are going to read a monad tutorial see:
<a href="http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/...;
You Could Have Invented Monads! (And Maybe You Already Have.) </a>Also I meant to ask if there was the possibility of doing another hack fest. Mostly just thinking along the lines of getting the chance for people to work on sides projects and discuss their work if they get stuck. We could even meet at pangea if getting a room is hard.

I'll have a gist with the Scala solutions up tomorrow. If you want to follow along or tinker with them, you can download and install scala from here http://www.scala-lang.org/downl...
