Paradigms of Programming—Developing a taste for the language flavors
Programmers mostly familiar with one language and one paradigm of programming are at a significant disadvantage. They're forced to think within the confines of a single way of doing things. More than learning different languages, it is important to learn different paradigms of programming. This broadens our views, helps us tackle design quite differently than someone who has confined to one paradigm. In this presentation we will talk a look at some of the key differentiators of languages and how programmers can make effective use of these to build applications.
