Supercharged Rabbit: Resource Management at High Speed in Erlang
Matthew Sackman
Matthew works for LShift Ltd in London as a senior developer. He is one of the core developers of RabbitMQ, working in everything from Erlang and Java to Shell and Make.
F# and Units-of-measure for Technical Computing
I will start by giving an introduction to units-of-measure and their implementation in F#. I'll work through smaller and larger code examples that make use of units-of-measure. As a large application, I'll detail a wrapper for a mathematical programming and optimization toolbox (Microsoft Solver Foundation) that handles units-of-measure transparentl

Computation Abstraction
Featuring Sadek Drobi
For a long time, and due to the lack of main FP concepts in most mainstream languages, we have missed opportunities for abstraction, code expressiveness and conciseness. With today's democratization of FP, Computational Abstraction is what will enable us to be less dependent on what specific...

Supercharged Rabbit: Resource Management at High Speed in Erlang
Featuring Matthew Sackman
RabbitMQ has been written in Erlang since its conception, in summer 2006. Since then the Rabbits have been getting more reliable, more scalable and faster. Recently we have embarked on a large modification of Rabbit to address resource management issues and increase scalability. This talk will...

F# and Units-of-measure for Technical Computing
Featuring Anton Schwaighofer
This talk is about F# and Units-of-measure for Technical Computing. F# (shipped in Visual Studio 2010) is a functional programming language that supports static checking and type inference for units-of-measure. Even in the simplest applications, units-of-measure can act as a valuable additional...

Functional Programming for Quantitative Modelling at Credit Suisse
Featuring Ganesh Sittampalam
Credit Suisse's Global Modelling and Analytics Group (GMAG) has been using functional programming in a number of guises for several years, starting with an in-house language built around Excel, then domain-specific languages and other code generation tools with Haskell and most recently using...

Strong Types and Pure Functions
Featuring Duncan Coutts
This talk is about the software engineering benefits we can obtain by controlling side effects. By starting with pure functions and using types to mark actions with side effects we can build custom computational environments and have strong guarantees about what side effects are permitted and are...

Using combinators to tackle the HTML rendering problem
Featuring Robert Pickering
Rendering HTML that is dynamic and looks good the many browsers people use today is a tricky problem. In this presentation we’ll dig into one part of the WebSharper platform, a new product from IntelliFactory, that aims to tackle this problem by using a DSL/combinator approach.
