Francesco Serra - Functionally Speaking: Turning FP Theory into Team Superpowers

🗣️ Francesco Serra - Functionally Speaking: Turning FP Theory into Team Superpowers
Functional programming has always been a big topic in software engineering, especially in the Scala ecosystem. There's plenty of tutorials, blog posts and articles on the internet to read and learn about it. But have you ever felt like you don't know what "doing FP" really means or where it is appropriate to use or how to bring it into your project at work? This talk will attempt to answer these questions by describing what it takes to write code in a functional way and how to make FP an asset for your team and a powerful tool under your belt, drawing from the experience gained while working with multiple teams and in several organisations of different size
