Track 1
09:00 - 09.30 WELCOME TO #FUNCTIONALPX
 Robert Pickering: Robert Pickering opens the 2012 Functional Programming eXchange: with tea, coffee and breakfast pastries! More details...
09.30 - 10.15 VISI.PRO BRINGING FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING TO THE MASSES
 David Pollak: David Pollak talks to the 2012 Functional Programming eXchange about his Visi.Pro project; providing a simple and powerful way for anybody to write programs for the iPad. More details...
10.15 - 10.30 TEA, COFFEE & REFRESHMENTS
We break for Tea, Coffee & Refreshments
10.30 - 11.15 SILKAPP: A CASE STUDY IN CREATING RICH INTERNET APPS IN HASKELL
 Erik Hesselink: In this talk for the 2012 Functional Programming eXchange, Erik Hesselink describes the uses of and experiences with functional programming at Silk. More details...
11.15 - 11.30 TEA, COFFEE & REFRESHMENTS
11.30 - 12.15 FPISH: LEVERAGING F# AND WEBSHARPER IN A LARGE-SCALE WEB APPLICATION
 Loic Denuziere: In this talk, Loic Denuziere will talk about FPish.net, a community website for
functional programmers, being developed using WebSharper. More details...
12.15 - 12.30 TEA, COFFEE & REFRESHMENTS
12.30 - 13.15 AKKA AT ZEEBOX: A CASE STUDY
 Kevin Wright : In this talk we will discuss Akka and how it is used in a couple of zeebox components, first to implement a high-throughput and low latency RESTful/streaming event service.
Second, to provide a clustered service tracking the state and behaviour of thousands of users. It will be a practical talk centered around the zeebox case-study and how Akka is used in the real-world. More details...
14.15 - 15.00 HASKELL FOR EMBEDDED DOMAIN-SPECIFIC LANGUAGES
 Andres Löh: A domain-specific language (DSL) is a usually small language for a dedicated
domain with its own unique appearance and rules for composition. Haskell has a
very flexible syntax, and offers higher-order functions. Therefore, we can
often mimic the visual style of a particular domain directly within the
language, yielding an embedded DSL. More details...
15.00 - 15.15 TEA, COFFEE & REFRESHMENTS
Tea, Coffee & Refreshments
15.15 - 16.00 F#'S TYPE PROVIDERS IN DEPTH
 Tomas Petricek: The purpose of most of the real-world applications is to process data that
are available in external data sources such as databases and XML files or
obtained using a web service or REST API. Accessing such data sources in a
typed way is difficult, because the compiler does not understand the
structure of the data. More details...
16.00 - 16.15pm TEA, COFFEE & REFRESHMENTS
16.15 - 17.00 FUN WITH FUNCTIONAL DEPENDENCIES ... IN SCALA
 Miles Sabin: In this talk for the 2012 Functional Programming eXchange, Miles Sabin will investigate if Haskell's compile time computations can be expressed in Scala. More details...
