Seattle - Functional Programming for Mobile Apps

A lot of us are impressed by the power of F# for mining and manipulating data but have a hard time understanding how to apply that power to GUIs. This talk will demonstrate that there are indeed many advantages to using FP techniques such as immutability and data transformations to build your app. That theme will continue as a selection of modern application architectures are presented that codify these techniques. At the end of this talk, you will have heard the word "function" far too many times, but you will also have a powerful new tool in your toolbox.

Born in a small town surrounded by family. Pretended to be an engineer for so long that I actually became one. Read too many books, drank a few too many drinks, and moved out to Seattle. Honed my yuppie skills until they became indistinguishable from hippiedom. Started my own business due to a general disrespect for authority and sanity. Now just discovering what to do with it all.
