RockNUG – 3/11/2009 – Functional Programming in .NET

I will be appearing this upcoming Wednesday at the Rockville .NET User Group (RockNUG) to give a presentation on Functional Programming in .NET.  This presentation will focus on the basics of functional programming, but also why you should care and how you can start applying these techniques today in your .NET Code.  With the evolution of the C# language and the base class libraries to incorporate functional aspects such as closures, statement lambdas, expressions, lazy evaluation, we now have more tools to express our code in a very declarative style.  Also, the incorporation of F# into Visual Studio as a first class language sends a signal that functional programming is gaining momentum.  And who knows, we’ll probably talk some Haskell as well…

Here are the details:
