Franklin Chen will present "A gentle conceptual introduction to functional programming for humans".

We will focus on covering fundamental concepts, making them concrete, show patterns and idioms, and how to apply them to work flows and application architectures. We will also show how FP is related to OO and how to "think FP" if you already "think OO".

We will be completely language-inclusive. I've done FP style coding in a dozen languages over the years. FP is a state of mind, not a language.
