[pm-h] Functional Programming Meet Up

[Mark Allen]

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. ;-)

Thanks :)
