I know some of you have already heard about this, but I am starting a new
functional programming users group in Houston and I wanted to invite all of my
Perl friends to come to our first meeting. If you want to learn more about
Scala (because of Stevan Little's moe project), Clojure, Erlang, Haskell or F#,
this is a user community you should join.
Learning Erlang at my dayjob has vastly improved the way I approach problem
solving and writing Perl code. Also a lot of functional languages make hard
problems (like distributed or asynchronous computing) easier and/or simpler to
solve.
It's this Wednesday, October 16, 2013
6:30-8:30
Pizza included
The topic is "Introduction to Webmachine." Webmachine is a fast and easy way
to build HTTP endpoints in Erlang. It's also been ported to Perl because it
has a ton of awesomely good ideas and we like to steal from the best. ;-)
