DerbyPy: Louisville Python MeetUp - Functional Programming Introduction - Tuesday March 24 6:30PM

[Alex Sisson]

Functional Programming (FP) is becoming a popular alternative to the 
mainstream paradigms of Object-Oriented Programming and Procedural 
Programming. Sometimes referred to as "Value-Oriented Programming," FP 
helps programmers think with more mathematical precision and carries 
many practical benefits to computing, like formal provability, algebraic 
reasoning, stable concurrency, and a host of powerful deductions that 
compilers can leverage for optimization. As a multi-paradigm language, 
Python has received much attention from the FP world. This talk covers 
the basics of the FP design philosophy and demonstrates its use in Python.
