Fun Introduction to Functional Programming: First think Functionally then Code Functionally.
Presented by Therapon Skoteiniotis, Software Development Engineer from Amazon.
The first goal of this talk is to expose the core of functional programming (lambda-calculus) and how to express computation using functions and function composition. The second goal is to show how we can encode our computation in a programming language, we'll use mainly Scheme but also show some equivalent programs in Haskell, OCaml and (for fun) Java.
