About this month's talk:

Functional Programming has been around for a while, but it is gaining popularity,
especially due to direct support in languages on the JVM. Writing code in functional
style is not about syntax. It is a paradigm shift. In this presentation, using examples
from Java, Groovy, and Scala, you will learn how to write code in functional style.
We will start out discussing the elements of functional programming and then look at examples
of some common operations and how you can implement those in functional style.
