Designing Functional Programs

Venkat Subramaniam, President, Agile Developer, Inc.

Functional programming promotes immutability and the use of higher-order functions. For those of us who have designed and architected applications with the imperative style of programming and the object-oriented paradigm, this largely seems like a strange idea. We often ask how it is practical to apply these ideas realistically to build practical applications. It turns out it’s highly practical but we have to change how we design and model our systems. Come to this presentation to think about functional style and how to start viewing design to make better use of this way of programming.

Venkat is the bomb. Concise content matched with lucid delivery. As usual.

So in Java, transforming a checked into a runnable exception is still the best solution (or the 'least worst'...) ?
