Functional Programming with Elixir

---

SCHEDULE:

12:30 pm CDT - Announcement
12:35 pm CDT - Presentation
After - Questions/Networking

ABOUT THE TALK:

With the functional paradigm becoming increasingly popular (ie. React function components), why not learn an actual functional programming language? In this talk, I'll be going over what functional programming is, how it differs from object-oriented programming, and perform live coding examples using Elixir.

SPEAKER:

Brian is a Software Crafter at 8th Light's LA office, currently working on an Elixir project. In his free time, he likes to ride his fixed gear bicycle, bake sourdough bread, and play video games.
