A SkillsCast for this session is not available.

Category Theory is known as one of the most terrifyingly abstract branches of maths, yet functional programmers swear by its effectiveness applied to code. How can this be? What makes it so useful for real-world software development?

Ken will answer these questions and more, explaining the basic concepts and terminology of Category Theory, how it reveals deep underlying patterns in our software, and why that matters.
