From the abstract: “Patterns and functional programming aren’t often mentioned together, but they’re related in a couple of ways. First, most of the classic object oriented design patterns fade away in languages with functional features. Second, functional languages have their own set of interesting patterns, which can often be given first class language support. In this talk, based on the forthcoming Pragmatic Press book Functional Programming Patterns, we’ll examine a few of each type of pattern, and show how adding…
From the abstract: “How do you write and deploy an extensible, cross-platform, event-driven HTTP, SSH, or IMAP server in Python in zero lines of code? With Twisted! Twisted is the granddaddy of event-driven Python networking libraries and has been a proving ground for how to structure such a framework for the last decade. In this talk, we’ll first orient ourselves with an architectural overview of the project. Then we’ll dissect key design decisions that make Twisted such a powerful tool…

This is what you can expect to hear and learn in this session. The first important…
From the abstract: “This talk presents Slick, Typesafe’s library for accessing databases. Similar in nature to .NET’s LINQ API, Slick is a successor to the popular ScalaQuery library. With Slick, database queries can be expressed using Scala code – which is composable and more convenient than Java APIs like JPA, and safer than string-based query languages like SQL. With a compile-time check to ensure type-safety, Slick queries allow users to interact with their database without knowing SQL, instead using function…
