Uncle Bob Martin Presents "Functional Programming. The Failure of State."
Uncle “Bob” at the IJUG-Chicago
Mr. Robert Martin, better known as the “Uncle Bob” to the software engineering community. I went to his presentation at the Illinois Java User Group (IJUG-Chicago) event hosted by the Capital One.
What is functional programming? Why is it important? Is it the future?
As always, he got all of us thinking about the way the engineers have been programming for last 50 years. Just as in the very beginning of the computer age, the software engineers are now challenged to make our codes of efficient. With quantum computing still on the other side of the horizon, and the Moore’s Law finally reaching the limit… perhaps the only viable answer right now is more efficient code.
Thanks Bob for the great presentation & thank you IJUG and Capital One for hosting a great event (and a great beer…as in free beer).
One more thing. Below is a bio of Uncle Bob.
