[Steering Committee] Offer for a June meeting speaker: Jordan Palmer

[Ryan Hoegg]

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!

Bio: Jordan Parmer is a software engineer at Oseberg and leads the Data
Platform
team. Jordan has been a professional software developer for twelve years and
specializes in GIS, data technologies, and most recently functional
programming.
You can occasionally find him teaching database classes at Oklahoma
Christian
University.
