Book #11 - Functional Programming in Kotlin - Chapter 4 (part 3)

We've adopted a new pacing for this group. Since the exercises are such an integral part of the book, we are staggering the meetings so that we cover the readings one week and then go through the exercises on the following week. See the schedule on the sign-up sheet (link below)

In this session, we'll be doing the exercises of Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Handling Error Without Exceptions - Exercises 4.1 - 4.8

Functional Programming in Kotlin - by Marco Vermeulen, Rúnar Bjarnason, and Paul Chiusano (early access, 2021)

Join us on Discord to discuss which of these books you'd prefer we'd do. Maybe we can decide on which book we're doing there before our first meetup -

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is a peer-to-peer reading group for learning and teaching each other programming languages, such as Rust, Go, and Kotlin, and software-related monetary technologies based upon Bitcoin.

For our meetings, we read a chapter from a book we've selected and then present the sections of that chapter to each other, each participant taking responsibility for a section or two. We pause after each section to allow for discussion and questions. At the end of each meeting we decide when we're meeting next. The more you present, the more you learn.

The peer-to-peer learning technique that we use is modeled on the practices of the Stanford Bitcoin Club in early 2018.

The Los Gatos Reading Group meets regularly online via zoom. We also meet in person from time to time. These in-person meetings are optional but highly encouraged for those who live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
