Title: What Is Functional Programming and Why Should You Care?

Summary: It's hard to ignore the growing number of Functional 
Programming languages. Haskell, Scala, Clojure, F#, Erlang, R, and many 
more. But what is Functional Programming and why should you care?  This 
talk sets out to demystify FP, debunk common misconceptions, and 
highlight ways FP can solve certain problems. Stuck with Java or C#. No 
worries! Functional programming doesn't require a purely functional 
programming language. It's a different way of building. Let's get
functional!
