Functional Programming nerds
None
FP will change your life
Our goals
Have a community of strong, production-ready people
Help people to enable their teams & provide solid foundation
for FP acceptance
Work with professionals & help them to be more efficient
& proficient
Why even bother?
We believe it’s a better way to work
we want to have fun at work
we want to bear responsibility for our own issues and
bugs, not for deficiencies of environment
Now you
Any non-convinced people here?
What’s your experience with FP?
What’s your main goal, what do you expect?
What are your use-cases / target projects?
What would be a project for you to start with?
How much time do you want to invest?
What’s the timeframe you consider reasonable to get up to
speed?
Learning
nothing is as important as knowing how to learn
programming languages are extremely easy to approach & learn
you’d have to accept that books don’t work
deep, concentrated reading a (650-page) book takes 15-17 hours
in 17 hours of figuring things out you can learn
a lot
and be able to apply it pretty much right away
noone says it’s going to be simple or easy but
it will certainly help you to get somewhere
Contract
we will have 2 meetups / month
given you will do your part and learn actively by
the end of year, you’re going to be able to work with FP professionally
the rest is up to you, to invest time &
learn or to look for alternative opportunities
we won’t sell anything we like what we do, but
we realise that growth is in acceptance
but we can help you to sell FP to your
colleagues, when you’re ready & want someone to come over and help you to convince your colleagues
