London Python Meetup
Functional programming is a way of thinking and problem solving considered to be cool, powerful, safe, efficient, and many other things .. and today, there is certainly a rising interest in functional programming .. but what is it, really? And can you do it with Python?
We're lucky to have Andrea Crotti take us on a fun ... and likely Christmas themed (!) ... journey into the fascinating world of functional programming, from it's origins to today.
After an introduction and a (gentle) bit of theory we'll discover how to do functional programming with Python, and appreciate the advantages of doing that, including coding better Python.
