Languages such as Scala and Clojure have functional concepts at the core of the langauge, and even more solidly object-oriented languages such as Groovy and C# 3.0 include functional concepts. This talk will cover whether langauge really matters, some functional techiques that enhance the power of a languge, how to implement some of these using existing Java syntax and semantics, and the future of functional additions to the Java langauge. <br> Speaker: Phil Varner<br> Phil is a software developer with Oracle, working on the Business Rules component of Fusion Middleware. <br> ----------<br> PJUG meetings start with some time to eat and socialize (pizza and beverages are provided), followed by the featured speaker, then some time for Q&A, discussion, and sometimes a drawing to give away swag. :)<br> Though we like knowing how many people to expect, you don't <em>have</em> to RSVP, on Upcoming or otherwise. Go ahead and just show up!<br> Many people also go for drinks afterward, at a location decided on the fly (more often than not, Jax on 2nd).<br> Twitter: @pjug<br> Web: pjug.org<br> (feel free to join our mailing list, linked from the website!)<br></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pjug.org/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
