OOP to FP mindshift

Short info:
The foundation of functional programming in the context of Scala programming language.

Targeted audience:
For all developers interested in functional programming thinking

Abstract:
Functional programming seems super cool but ...

A good understanding of different paradigms is not an easy issue - it is like changing the culture chip and even more about some kind of mind-shift. Once we got it, your programming toolbox in terms of abstraction will be much richer than ever before.

Let's see how we can slightly move into the functional paradigm world:

• how we can express all well-known abstractions from OOP
• classes and their relations and communication, polymorphism and some important design patterns as well

Let's compare and combine the best things from these two paradigms. Let's do it together and become better programmers!

Please, bring your laptop with Scala installed. Scala REPL in a console is good enough.
