First meeting - Trinity College
So we are going to meet for the first time... yay!!
Where: Trinity College, Lloyd building, Room 1.20 (First floor) http://www.tcd.ie/Maps/map.php?b=249
When: 15th of January 2013 from 6.30pm to 8pm (maybe going to the pub afters)
Why
* Learn functional programming with people from different backgrounds and interests
* Practice functional coding skills by working on fun problems
* Compare the solutions with other languages
How does it work
Bring your laptop and solve a problem we give you in any functional programming language in 50 minutes, after we compare all the solutions (ideally we ll have people trying out different programming languages and we can see how they are different)
As long as you can more or less solve a problem you are ready to come along, the idea is that we all get better at writing functional code by practice.
