From Javascript to Haskell : Functional Programming made simple

Did you ever had a colleague that said «Well, it's simple. I just used a partial application on that curried function using higher order functions and closures» ? Did you understand anything ? If not, then that talk is what you are looking for.
Functional programming uses a lot of concepts that are familiar to mathematicians. And that's scary ! But, applied to computing, it's actually pretty simple !
While live coding a refactoring that transforms a imperative code to a functional one, main concepts of functional programming will be introduced when necessary and explained deeply.
At the end of this talk, you will understand these key concepts :
- Referential transparency
- Functions as first class citizens
- Higher order functions
- Closures
- Lambda calculus
- Currying
- Partial application
- Function composition
- «Point-free» notation

Fantastic. Thanks a lot for explaining in such a great details.
