Learning To Code In Functional Style with Java
Saturday - Jul 27 11:00 AM CDT - SALON C-D
Functional style of programming was introduced in Java 8. If you are like the speaker, who spent decades on imperative style, then the transition to functional style can be intimidating. In this presentation, we will learn about the fundamentals of programming in functional style, the set of tools that we can reach into to solve problems as a series of state transformation. We will learn the how but also the benefits along the way as well.
