    • Meetup - "Let's Get Functional - Exploring the F# Type System"

      The topic for this meetup is a continuation from our “Lets Get Functional” series. The “Let’s Get Functional” topic series is geared towards learning and sharing experiences in making the functional programming transition (or at least adding and/or growing the skill set), from a more traditional Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) model. In this iteration we will dig a little bit deeper into the F# Type System and show how it can reduce complexity.

    • Meetup - "Let's Get Functional"

      The “Let’s Get Functional” topic series is geared towards learning and sharing experiences in making the functional programming transition (or at least adding and/or growing the skill set), from a more traditional Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) model.
      Functional programming has found itself in many new/emerging technologies and OOP developers struggle in making the transition. Sophcon is no different and we want to start the conversation about what we’ve learned, in hopes that this will help others. And in the process, do a bit of learning ourselves, from others and their feedback/experiences.
