<p dir="ltr">Title: What Is Functional Programming and Why Should You Care?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Summary: It's hard to ignore the growing number of Functional Programming<br>
languages. Haskell, Scala, Clojure, F#, Erlang, R, and many more. But what is Functional<br>
Programming and why should you care? This talk sets out to demystify FP, debunk<br>
common misconceptions, and highlight ways FP can solve certain problems. Stuck<br>
with Java or C#. No worries! Functional programming doesn't require a purely<br>
functional programming language. It's a different way of building. Let's get<br>
functional!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Bio: Jordan Parmer is a software engineer at Oseberg and leads the Data Platform<br>
team. Jordan has been a professional software developer for twelve years and<br>
specializes in GIS, data technologies, and most recently functional programming.<br>
You can occasionally find him teaching database classes at Oklahoma Christian<br>
University.</p>
