The past July 19, I’ve made a talk on the Dynamic Languages meet-up explaining some basics of functional programming. The presentation has two parts, the theoretical one, with the proper presentation and the second one with code examples. For the code examples I’ve used Lisp, Haskell and Python, with homologous functions, each one implemented on each used language, to ensure that are concepts were handled.
Probably the problem was the time to make the presentation, I had 40 minutes assigned to make the complete presentation plus 10 minutes for questions. I really enjoyed that talk, it was very interesting, and certainly some questions made on it were very interesting, leading to further analysis and readings.
Was a very interesting meet-up, sharing ideas and knowledge really rocks, and the Dynamic Languages community seems to be rocking. Also, I’ve received an invitation to present some work on other meet-ups, and seems that I will do some presentations related to my FOSS projects.
If you have joined the meet-up and assisted to the talk, you will enjoy downloading the presentation and the code examples that I’ve made for that presentation. The code examples are related just to closures as the main functional abstraction, due to the assigned time for the presentation, other topics like monads requires more time to explain them.
- Micro-Introducción a la Programación Funcional (PDF, Spanish)
- Python Examples
- Lisp Examples
- Haskell Examples
- Polimorfism through Closures in Haskell Example
Enjoy reading the example source code again ;)
